We all know when it comes to child support payments and non-agency child support there can often be some confusion. So, what is classified as a "non-agency payment"? If you don't have an agreement, what is a "prescribed payment"?

Consider the following:

An administrative assessment is currently in place for Peter to pay Lucy child support of $1,500.00 a month. Lucy drives a car that is legally registered in Peter's name, which she uses to transport the child of her relationship with Peter, to and from school.

The car is subject to finance and Peter has continued to pay the monthly instalments towards the finance secured against that car, since separation. The finance is $800.00 a month.
