status=CurrentThe Child Support Act is an Act of the Parliament of New Zealand that was passed in 1991.
It was passed to reform the legislation around domestic maintenance payments that, at the time, was perceived as being ineffective.
The new legislation enabled custodial parents and caregivers to apply directly to the Inland Revenue Department for assistance in gathering and being paid child support that was owed by a liable parent, rather than needing to hold a Court Hearing.
