Right, and I see that people didn't catch the New Zealand part. My advice is still the same. Did you look at the site that I posted?

Having more than one thread does the same to us readers too! The links in my post covers child support in New Zealand.

Maybe these are different questions or maybe not:

Post #1 I have been with my partner for 4years he has a son who is 5years old. The mother of the child is asking for child support which my partner does not mind paying, Im just wondering can the mother make me pay child support too?

Post #16 My brother pays child support which he doesn't mind as he understands NOW its his responsibility. His ex has been telling his NOW partner that she can also make her pay for their child.

If I merged them in error I apologize, but it seems even if they are the answer is the same. And the question about de-facto relationships is seems all tied in.
