I will get DH to pop in here when he gets home from work to try and explain the new system (he works for the CSA).
Tobyturtle - just a note.. it isn't the governments reponsibility to pay people money for child support, it is the other parents. There are a lot of reciprocal countries, but not all unfortunatly. It sucks bigtime that your x won't pay child support, but it isn't the average tax payers responsibility to pay for him, as much as that may suck for you. The government already spends heaps of money just running to child support agency so one side pays the other side their money, and most people would not be happy paying more money in tax so the government can foot the bill when others shirk their responsibility.
