There are 10 reasons for a change of assessment (section 117(2)).
- The costs of maintaining a child are significantly affected by either parent's high costs in enabling them to spend time with, or communicate with the child.
- The costs of maintaining a child are significantly affected by high costs associated with the child's special needs.
- The costs of maintaining a child are significantly affected by high costs of caring for, educating or training the child in the way both parents intended.
- The child support assessment is unfair because of the child's income, earning capacity, property or financial resources.
- The child support assessment is unfair because the payer has paid or transferred money, goods or property to the child, the payee, or a third party for the benefit of the child.
- The costs of maintaining a child are significantly affected by the payee's high child care costs for the child (and the child is under 12 years).
- The parent's necessary expenses significantly affect their capacity to support the child.
- The child support assessment is unfair because of the income, earning capacity, property or financial resources of one or both parents.
- The parent's capacity to support the child is significantly affected by:
- their legal duty to maintain another child or person,
- their necessary expenses in supporting another child or person they have a legal duty to maintain
- their high costs of enabling them to spend time with, or communicate with, another child or person they have a legal duty to maintain.
- The child support assessment is unfair because:
- the payer earns additional income for the benefit of their resident child (who is not the payee's child), or
- the payee earns additional income for the benefit of their resident child (who is not the payer's child).
