In 2008 the Families Commission commissioned Colmar Brunton to undertake high-level research into a number of issues relating to separated parents. A two-part survey was developed sourcing information on issues such as the different types of care and contact arrangements that separated parents make for their children - and the factors that influence parents in making those arrangements; and the financial arrangements that separated parents make for the care of their children - and the factors that influence their decisions in that area. In addition, the survey sought insight into how the expenditure for raising children can vary in different care and contact arrangements, and families’ views on the characteristics of an equitable child support scheme.
