Abstract
Australia's child support system can not only increase women's poverty, but can actually facilitate financial abuse, according to our recent research.
Child support is an important system that aims to share the financial burden of raising children between separated parents.
But there are some serious problems with the way it operates, putting already vulnerable women further at risk.
Drawing on the experiences of 675 single mothers, we sought to examine women's experience with the child support system from start to finish.
Our research suggests four key changes could improve both women's safety and financial wellbeing.
