Dear readers,
I would like to know how much child care is payable from one parent to another in below situation:
After separation, dad wants 50/50 but mum wants full custody of children. Both parents failed on mediation and section 60 was obtained, and there is no parenting agreement whatsoever. Since then, mum has forcefully held up the child, would not let dad to see the child at all, zero.
My question is, if mum forcefully keeps the child with her every single day, does dad therefore pay for the child support based on 0% care, at least until a court order is made?
Here's the background story happened recently:
Mum never drop-off or pick-up child in exchange, so dad had been driving to and from her place as somebody has got to do the exchange.
Previously, when dad picks up or drops off the kid, mum would scream and yell at dad right in front of them. When dad approached mum's place in attempt to pick up the child, the 3-year-old saw dad over the glass, the child was extremely happy, and asked mum to open the door and wanted to go out with dad, yet mum took the child into the back side of the house. Dad waited outside of the house for half an hour, never opened the door, and never let the child get into the living room.
Dad has never committed any family violence or child abuse. Mum, on the other hand, have done both, and dad has evidence to prove it, although dad never reported to the police/ child protection when incidences happened. Yet mum previously has made false allegation against dad before but only managed to secure an interim IVO.
Kind regards
