Legal Aid NSW - Coronavirus Fact Sheets

  • COVID-19: Child support and family payments - If care arrangements for your child change or your income changes because of COVID-19, this could affect your child support assessment and family tax benefit payments. This factsheet is part of a series from Legal Aid NSW that aims to help answer your questions about COVID-19 and family law.
  • COVID-19: Financial stress and separating families - Separation can be a time of financial stress for many families, and many people have lost income due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This factsheet offers tips for dealing with financial stress.
  • COVID-19: Mediation by telephone - Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been changes in the way family law courts operate. These changes mean that the courts will only hear urgent applications in the coming months. The pandemic might also mean that parents who have previously made arrangements for their children are unsure how the arrangements will work now. A mediation, or family dispute resolution conference, can help you resolve your family law problems quickly and without the need to go to court.
