About this Guide

A general guide to help you with child support administrative reviews.

When to use this guide

An administrative review is a free service managed by Child Support staff to have a child support formula assessment looked at to see if it can be altered to fit your particular situation. Both paying parents and custodians can apply for an administrative review.

An administrative review is based on the Family Court departure order process. Child Support staff organise the review process but the actual review is done by an independent person contracted to Inland Revenue. This person is called the review officer.
