    Question is that wrong ?

    i was just wondering about this...as i was just told that xp was seen working at soundwave yesterday and a few other places obviously cash in hand jobs.. and i only get the minimum amount of child support from him which i think is about $16.26 or something a fortnight...(of which i have never spent a cent of i put away in an acount for her, and which im positive his mum ends up paying anyway..)
    so my question is it illegill him doing that and not telling centerlink? not that im goin g to say anything just proves to me how selfish he is..

    Yep, totally illegal. He needs to report all his earnings to centrelink. I have a friend working at soundwave, cash in hand. I'd report him, getting sixteen dollars a fortnight is disgusting and shows how flawed the system can be

    Yup as far as I know...legally (and morally) wrong.

    Sure is wrong, I'd be dobbing him in, why should your DD be missing out on the full child support payment.

    it's wrong if he's on c'link payments - also wrong in that he isn't paying tax either. so yeah, i'd tip off ATO or C'link about it. you may not get any more child support than you're getting now if it's sporadic work and he still qualifies for the newstart - but he should be declaring it

    He might not be NOT declaring it - and it would take awhile for any changes to be made....and it would take a pretty big amount for the CSA to change the $$$ too as it's an annual thing.

    If he is on Newstart his mum isn't paying the money, it's taken directly out of his payment - don't spend it all at once will ya?
