You have to pay child support to Inland Revenue if you're on a benefit and you have a child who lives with you less than two thirds of the time and is: under 18, or 18 and attending a registered school in NZ or overseas.

Cancelling child support You'll need to fill out a cancellation form if you want to change from a formula assessment or voluntary agreement to a private agreement. The receiving carer can cancel a formula assessment over the phone. Only the receiving carer can cancel a voluntary agreement or court order.

Typically, the court will permit the parties to agree that no child support will be paid to either party. ... The court may consider a change in income or living expenses or child's activities as a change in circumstances that would warrant an award of child support or a modification of an existing child support order.

If you don't pay the child support you're meant to pay, Inland Revenue can ask the Family Court to make you come to court so it can check your finances. If you don't attend court when you're told to, the court can issue a warrant for your arrest.

If presented with sufficient evidence, the court may increase your visitation or even change physical custody to you. Child custody and child support are separate legal issues. Even if you are not making child support payments, you have an absolute right to be in your child's life.

If the support-paying parent is laid off or otherwise loses his or her job, probation-collected child support payments are likely to stop immediately. ... Child support arrears will continue to accrue for the parent with continued exposure for contempt until and unless a court orders a reduction.
