ButtonDefining Financial Responsibilities
At Trapski Family Law in Williams Landing, we provide legal services to help parents establish child support agreements following separation. Since 2011, we have assisted families across Victoria with confidential and structured guidance. Accredited by the Law Institute of Victoria, our services cover both limited and binding agreements, aiming to ensure arrangements comply with the Child Support (Assessment) Act.
Limited agreements offer short-term flexibility and are usually based on a Services Australia assessment. Binding agreements require independent legal advice for each parent and provide long-term certainty with enforceable obligations. These agreements may cover regular payments, lump sums or direct contributions to expenses such as school fees, healthcare or living costs. We explain how these agreements work alongside Services Australia, how they can be registered, and what enforcement options exist if one party does not comply.
To discuss your child support arrangements or arrange a consultation with our child support lawyers, please call us on (03) 8001 7070.
Flexible & Enforceable Options
Child support agreements in Williams Landing are designed to help provide clarity and reduce conflict over children’s financial needs. Parents may choose between flexible arrangements that allow for changes in circumstances or binding agreements that provide stronger long-term security. Both options can be tailored to reflect the specific needs of children, such as education, health care or extracurricular activities.
Once registered, these agreements are legally enforceable, and Services Australia can step in to manage payments if required. We also provide guidance on how agreements can be reviewed, varied or set aside if circumstances change significantly. Timelines, procedural requirements and independent advice are all explained clearly so parents can understand their rights and responsibilities.
Our services in Williams Landing focus on accuracy, transparency and ensuring that financial arrangements meet legislative requirements. Clients are encouraged to use the enquiry form to request a call-back or arrange a confidential consultation.

FAQs
What is a child support agreement?
A child support agreement is a written arrangement between separated parents about how financial support for children will be provided. It can include regular payments, lump sums or direct contributions to expenses such as schooling and medical care. Agreements must meet legislative standards to be enforceable and may be registered with Services Australia for monitoring and collection.
What is the difference between a limited and a binding agreement?
A limited agreement is linked to a Services Australia assessment and provides short-term flexibility. It can be ended after three years or if circumstances change significantly. A binding agreement requires both parents to obtain independent legal advice before signing. Binding agreements provide long-term certainty and are more difficult to change, but they offer stronger enforceability.
How can a child support agreement be enforced?
Once registered, Services Australia can collect and enforce payments under the agreement. This includes tracking non-payments and arranging collection through employer deductions or other means. If one parent does not comply, legal enforcement measures may be taken. Binding agreements, in particular, are enforceable in court if a party breaches their obligations.
Can a child support agreement be changed or set aside?
Yes, but the process depends on the type of agreement. Limited agreements can be ended after three years or earlier in certain circumstances. Binding agreements are more difficult to change and usually require a new agreement signed by both parents or a court order. Courts will only set aside a binding agreement in limited cases, such as fraud, duress or significant changes in the child’s needs.
