Use the homepage calculator and care guides first so your parenting proposal and child support expectations line up with the same baseline.
Use the free calculatorParenting orders and child support are legally separate, but in Perth FIFO files they often rise and fall together. A lawyer handling both can help make the care proposal, the evidence, and the likely child support outcome consistent.
Perth practitioners who understand rostered work can usually spot whether the real issue is annual care percentage, contact costs, or variable income.
Handling parenting and child support together reduces the risk of agreeing to care terms that create an unintended formula result.
Combined matters in Perth often start with agreement drafting and escalate only if the care record or roster evidence is disputed.
FIFO rosters affect the practical care calendar, which in turn can change the annual care percentage used in the child support formula and the parenting proposal that is realistic for the child.
Perth lawyers commonly quote around $3,500-$6,000 for cooperative combined work, while contested matters can move into a much higher range.
Not always, but one integrated strategy is often cheaper and clearer when the care arrangement is the main thing driving the child support amount.
