Child support payment rules

D Bruce made this Official Information request to Inland Revenue Department

The request was successful.

From: D Bruce

Dear Inland Revenue Department,

Can you please tell me exactly what the rules are for people paying child support. Specifically:
* Under what section of which legislation is the IRD operating when it collects child support contributions
* Is a person who is receiving no income obliged to pay child support?
* Is it the responsibility of the taxpayer or the IRD to establish what level of income a person paying child support is receiving at any given time, and adjust the payment levels accordingly?

Yours faithfully,
D Bruce
