FAMILY DATABASE: Child support.
- Authors
Fooks, Susan
- Abstract
The article presents references on child support selected from the 'Australian Family & Society Abstracts' database, produced by the Australian Institute of Family Studies to monitor the research, policy and practice literature on families and the social issues that affect them. Child support involves the equitable sharing by both parents in the support of their children after divorce. The Child Support Scheme was introduced in 1988 to address the interrelated issues of single parent poverty, non-resident parents' responsibilities for child support post divorce and growing government expenditure on single parent pensions. The Scheme has been subject to a number of reviews, with resulting changes to child support legislation. This bibliography provides references added to the Australian Family & Society Abstracts database since 1999 on the issue of child support. It particularly focuses on the Child Support Scheme, changes to the legislation supporting the Scheme, and responsibility for child support after separation, divorce and remarriage.
