In many cases, the system is used as a fishing tool, allowing participants to access private financial and employment data.

This information is then weaponised for coercive control, institutional abuse, or lawfare—tactics designed to punish and harass paying parents under the guise of compliance.

Disturbingly, the agency itself engages in lawfare, aggressively pursuing debts through litigation rather than working toward meaningful resolutions.

The impact on paying parents—predominantly fathers—is profound. Inflated income assessments, punitive enforcement measures, and a refusal to engage in genuine dispute resolution create financial strain, emotional distress, and exacerbate family conflict. The agency’s heavy-handed tactics, including intrusive debt recovery methods and threats of Departure Prohibition Orders, do little to address the underlying issues. Instead, they incite hostility between parents, often to the detriment of the children the system purports to protect.

Rather than recognising these systemic failures, the agency’s answer has been to demand even greater powers to control and oppress. These expanded powers further centralise authority, making it harder for parents to work collaboratively and reach fair agreements. We suggest that the agency has played a significant role in the consistent deterioration of separated families, fostering conflict rather than resolution.

Our AI has been trained on the latest legislation, case law, and official responses from the Child Support Agency, enabling it to provide guidance on a range of issues such as change of assessments, objections, departure prohibition orders, departure authorisation certificates, complaints, and more.
