Child Support Act 1991

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

135I: Relief from initial late payment penalty if minimum amount

You could also call this:

“Old rule about skipping a fee for late child support payments no longer exists”

This law about relief from initial late payment penalties for child support has been removed. It is no longer part of the Child Support Act 1991. The government took it out of the law on 1 April 2021. This means that the rules about getting relief from paying a penalty when you’re late with your first child support payment have changed. If you want to know what the current rules are, you’ll need to look at the updated version of the Child Support Act.
