If you're caring for a child as a legal guardian, grandparent or kinship carer, you might be eligible for child support. You can apply for a child support assessment if you care for the child for at least 128 nights a year and aren't in a relationship with either of the child's parents.
Claims for child support payments need to be assessed by the relevant child support agency where the child is resident. Australia and the United States have a bilateral agreement to enforce child support payments for parents resident in their country when the child is abroad.
