Child Support: Good questions and talking about her role Flashcards
How can I ask for child support?
Provide client with information about how child support is determined, basic info about the child support guide, and the path to mediate or court process
What is an important question to ALWAYS ask when people want to apply for CS or SS?
ask about their income, need to know if a business owner has incorporated income, and if a judge is involved and the world imputed comes up (less common but still)
How would you describe the meeting with the CSO?
basically kristeen is a child support officer, so she is very familiar with the standards and rules related to child support. she uses negotiation and these standards to facilitate the conversation about putting CS agreement into place. Her meetings are about an hour for the first intake, and then if you proceed, she basically goes back and forth between the two parties to negotiate the CS agreement.
How far back in time can she go back to talk about arrears?
1 year same as FJC
If she can’t help with clients because they have incorporated income who can she refer people to
Typically QASE if they meet the income criteria I think, they can help when a client has incorporated income or when there is division or property, debts and assets as a part of the separation and SS
How is child supported calculated (using what for income?)
It is calculated using your last 3 notice of assessments, Kristeen says that’s the “Cadillac” of what people have at their meeting, but she can take the last year
