FAQ: How does CSA work out how much care I have of my children?

The percentage of care you have of your children is based on the number of nights that the children are expected to stay with you over the next 12 months (regardless of when the child support period starts).

Use our care estimator to work out how much care you have of your children or to update your details you should contact CSA on 131 272. Further information about Recognising care of the children, including Child support tables and Estimating your child support payments worksheets are available.
