Practical child support guidance from someone who's been there

I've spent over 35 years helping families work through child support matters. Office in Melbourne CBD; phone and video consultations across Sydney, Brisbane, and the rest of Australia. Clear, experienced guidance — without the complexity or cost of traditional firms.

What I do

Specialist child support services

Every family's situation is different. I tailor my approach to your specific circumstances, drawing on decades of practical experience.

Assessments & Reviews

Whether you're facing a new child support assessment or need to challenge an existing one, I guide you through the process with practical, experienced advice.

🤝

Agreements & Negotiations

I help parents reach workable agreements that prioritise children's needs — often without the expense and stress of formal proceedings.

📋

Dispute Resolution

When disagreements arise, I provide informed guidance on your options and the likely outcomes, helping you make decisions from a position of knowledge.

About me

A career dedicated to one thing

I'm Simon Bacon. For more than three decades, child support has been my sole professional focus. While other practitioners divide their attention across multiple areas of law, when I was a lawyer, I decided to specialise exclusively in child support matters. I now run a specialised child support consultancy as a non-lawyer and can solve most child support issues at a fraction of the cost of what a fully licensed law firm would charge.

That depth of experience means I've likely seen a situation similar to yours before. I understand the rules, the processes, and the practical realities that textbooks don't cover.

My work has been published in leading legal journals, and I've been recognised as a trusted voice on child support issues across Australia. But what matters most to me is helping real families find workable solutions.
