Get your free guide The child support paper trail
If you're navigating child support and want to make sure you're protected – now and down the track – this guide will walk you through exactly what to document from day one, and why it matters more than most women realise.
Right now you might be:
Accepting the child support assessment without knowing whether it's actually fair for your situation
Taking your ex's word for what the care arrangements are – without any written record of what's really happening
Feeling pressure not to "make trouble" by formalising things – even though a paper trail protects you both
Unsure whether the expenses you're carrying for your kids can be factored into the assessment
Not keeping records because you don't know what you'll need – or when you'll need it
Child support assessments can change. Incomes shift. Care arrangements evolve. New partners arrive. And if you ever need to challenge an assessment, update an arrangement, or prove what the situation has actually looked like – what you documented is what you have to work with.
The decisions you make (and the records you keep) right now are the ones that will matter if things get complicated later.
The women I work with aren't careless or uninformed – they're overwhelmed. They're doing their best in an incredibly complex system, often without the information they need to protect themselves.
That's exactly why I created this guide.
Pop your details in below for instant access to the free guide – I'll walk you through exactly what to document, how to store it, and what it means if you ever need to use it.
What many women don’t realise is this:
The child support system has more options than most people know about.
You can challenge an assessment that's wrong. You can apply for a review. You can take it all the way to the Administrative Review Tribunal.
But only if you have your records
Inside this free training, you’ll discover:
The five categories of records every separated mother should be keeping – and what goes in each one
Why the standard child support assessment is sometimes wrong – and what evidence you need to show it
The three stages of review available to you if the assessment isn't fair
The simplest way to set up a system that takes minutes to maintain – and could save you years of fighting
This isn't generic advice.
It's practical and specific – based on what women actually need when they're navigating a system that doesn't always work in their favour.
Hi, I’m Carolyn.
I built Women's Divorce Academy because I kept seeing capable, intelligent women trying to navigate divorce alone — overwhelmed and second-guessing themselves when they didn't have to be.
I've been through my own divorces. I've been in and out of the child support system for eighteen years. And since then I've supported over 800 women through the legal, financial, and emotional realities of separation.
Child support isn't just a number on a piece of paper.
It's financial security for your children – and for you. And the women who are best placed to protect it aren't the ones who got lucky. They're the ones who knew what to keep track of.
That's why this guide exists. And it's why it's free.
