CSHA is a private organisation primarily assisting paying parents with child support matters, including Changes of Assessment, Objections, care changes, income matters, ART representation, reviews, disputes and general child support assistance. CSHA urges people to reach out to them for assistance when their chid support assessment needs to be revised. CSHA has a great deal of experience pursing s
atisfactory outcomes on behalf of their clients. CSHA reassures its clients that they share their priorities: ensuring that a fair and just result is obtained. Child Support is based on the financial circumstances of each parent and the care percentage of the child or children. Unfortunately, the existence of Court Orders does not necessarily mean that Services Australia will take them into consideration when deciding on an assessment. Many find that the Court Orders may indicate a care level to the paying parent however the Department will ignore this if the receiving parent does not comply with the orders, with no penalty to the receiving parent. We can also assist those parents who do not wish to involve the CSA and prefer to have private agreement either binding or non-binding instead. We acknowledges that child support changes as a result of one or more parties undergoing significant economic changes (either positive or negative). For instance, if one parent was unemployed, them gaining employment can have a large impact on the assessment. We reminds their clients constantly that economic setbacks will change the amount that parent is assessed on. CSHA can also advice its client on the best way to advise the department of theses changes to minimise the effects of the changes. Economic setbacks do not necessarily mean they should still owe an amount they may no longer be able to afford. However, prompt action in these cases is vital and attempting to this without the guidance of CSHA can result in an adverse decision which only adds to your situation. CSHA will also communicate with their clients accountant to ensure that business expenses and tax returns are all put in at the correct time. People who approach CSHA will be able to request a free initial consultation. This is vital given that each family is unique and will have different needs. Many variables are considered during the initial consultant and the client is made aware of all their options. We do not encourage people to engage their services if CSHA can not see any benefit to the client. CSHA has a strong work ethic and customer services standards which has resulted in being Australia’s only independent source of child support services in Australia. Having CSHA by your side can help a parent navigate the child support system during a trying time of their life with minimal delays and stress.
