Maintenance Enforcement Division

The Maintenance Enforcement Division (MED) enhances access to justice by improving the process for enforcing maintenance orders.

The MED is set up as a division under the Insolvency & Public Trustee's Office. An application to enforce maintenance arrears may be referred to the Maintenance Enforcement Officers (MEOs), who will conduct conciliation sessions between the two parties with a view to facilitating sustainable solutions, conduct fact-finding on parties’ financial circumstances, refer suitable parties to financial assistance, and submitting information to the court.
