CHILD SUPPORT (ASSESSMENT) ACT 1989 - SECT 98A

Simplified outline

    The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

  The Registrar can make a determination under this Part to depart from the provisions of this Act relating to administrative assessment of child support for a child.

  A liable parent or a carer entitled to child support can apply for such a determination, or the Registrar can make a determination on his or her own initiative.

  The Registrar must not make a determination in respect of a day that is more than 18 months earlier without leave of a court under section   112.

  The grounds for deciding whether to make a determination are the same as a court uses in deciding whether to make an order under Division   4 of Part   7.

  If the Registrar is considering making a determination, the parties can make a child support agreement in relation to child support payable for the child instead of the Registrar making the determination.

  Under section   80 of the Registration and Collection Act, certain persons can object to a decision to make or refuse to make a determination under this Part.
