In this article we investigate the associatiom between the payment and receipt of child support andhousing circumstances of both resident and non-resident parents. We do so by analysing data fromWave 4 of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. The finalanalytic sample comprised 1,043 separated parents (637 resident parents, 406 non-resident parents).Our finding indicate that for resident parents the receipt of child support payments above$75 per week was significantly associated with better housing circumstances. By contrast, the payment of child support was not significantly related to housing outcomes for non-resident parents.Overall our results suggest that resident parents in receipt of child support, particularly above themedian amount, live with their children in betterr housing circumstances than resident parentsreceiving little or no child support. While this finding makes intuitive sense - moneyy matters - theway in which child support appears to be diffirentially related to the housing circumstances of residentand non-resident parents warrants forther investigation
