Ngā whakahē tautoko tamariki Child support objections

Any person affected by a decision or who receives a Child support to pay, or Child support entitlement letter may object to it. 

For example, you can object to our decision:

• to make or refuse to make a formula assessment of child support
• about the proportion of ongoing daily care that a carer provides
• that a child is or is not a dependent child
• to accept the other person's decision to end a formula assessment
• to refuse to accept a decision to end a formula assessment or to overturn the acceptance of a decision to end a formula assessment
• to refuse to accept an estimation
• to issue an assessment because you have estimated but did not file your income tax return
• to impose a penalty
• to accept an application for a voluntary agreement.
