Cancel your domestic maintenance under a court order or voluntary agreement by following these steps.
Only the person getting domestic maintenance may cancel it.
Before you start
For both the person paying and the person receiving domestic maintenance, you'll need:
- IRD numbers
- current addresses
- contact details.
Complete an IR112
Fill in and sign our 'Cancelling domestic maintenance' form (IR112).
You can either:
- fill it out online then save it – but you’ll need an online signature
- print it out, fill it out by hand, then scan it.
In myIR, select 'I want to...'
Select 'Send a message'
Select 'Child support'
Write your message
Tell us you want to cancel your domestic maintenance, and attach your completed IR112 form.

What happens next
We'll cancel your domestic maintenance from the day before the date you’ve chosen. If you have not asked for a specific cancellation date, we’ll cancel from the date we received your request.
Your responsibilities
If you were owed payments before cancelling and asked us not to collect them, you can go to the District Court if you later change your mind and want to collect them again.
