151A: Relief where child support overpaid before estimation

You could also call this:

“Getting money back if you paid too much child support before estimating”

This section of the law used to talk about what happens when you pay too much child support before making an estimate. However, it’s no longer part of the current law. The government removed this section on 1 April 2016. If you want to know what happens now if you overpay child support, you might need to look at newer parts of the law or ask someone who knows about the current rules.
