This week, a sister walks us through the process of her divorce and filing for child support.
“After 18 years in my first relationship, it ended in domestic violence with a threat to my life and a protection order against my now ex-husband. We have two girl children together ages 6 and 10. “At the time of separation the kids were 2 and 6 years old. In November 2019, I filed for divorce and the maintenance of the kids was addressed by the family court,” she wrote.
“The judge informed that the kids’ maintenance needed to be sorted before the divorce could be granted. In January 2020, the matter was called and after hearing the case [my ex-husband] was tasked through an interim order to pay support in the form of $20,000 monthly per child and half of the then school fees being $52,500.
