the amount of child support is dependent on the income of the paying parent - if you believe he is telling furphy's about how much he earns and should be paying more, let CSA know - otherwise, for someone on a very low income (ie, c'link payments) it's normal to only be $27 a month.

i know it seems harsh, but they are getting nothing from the govt (ftb etc) for the child, so that comes out of their income - and they still have to have enough to live on...
