We believe that the government should review and reform the Child Support Act 1991 because it's outdated, causing financial strain on non-custodial parents. A fairer system, considering the income of both parents, outgoings, and family dynamics, is essential. Prioritising children's well-being and reducing battles and remove the debt collection vibes will help create a more equitable and compassionate child support system for all families. It's time to modernise this crucial legislation.
