Child Support Act 1991

Collection of financial support - Mandatory relief in respect of initial late payment penalty

135H: Relief from initial late payment penalty if full compliance with payment arrangement entered into or made before 1 April 2016 and within 3-month period

You could also call this:

“Old rule about avoiding extra fees for late child support payments”

This part of the law used to talk about how you could avoid paying an extra fee if you were late with your child support payment. It explained what would happen if you made a plan to pay before April 1, 2016, and within three months of when you were supposed to pay. However, this rule doesn’t apply anymore. The government removed it on April 1, 2021, when they changed the Child Support Act.
