^ Urgh, that's horrible. It's such a common situation too.
That being said, even if someone isn't officially working they generally still owe some level of child support. If someone isn't working, and isn't on Centrelink, that amount is about $1k a year. If he was on Centrelink that amount is about $300 a year (cos, like, you can totally raise a child on $300 a year 8))She should be able to claim a debt offset and not have to hand over money. Bearing in mind that's only if the case was registered with the CSA for collection. If it was a private collect case, and she didn't do anything about collecting the maintenance herself, she's probably just going to have to cop it on the chin.
I'm constantly shocked at how horrible and vindictive people can be to their ex-partners when kids are involved. Hope things start looking up for her.
