268A: Transitional provision for proceedings commenced before commencement of Child Support Amendment Act (No 3) 2013 but not completed

You could also call this:

"Rules for unfinished child support cases started before the 2013 law change"

If you started a child support case before the Child Support Amendment Act (No 3) 2013 came into effect, but it wasn't finished by then, this section is about you. These unfinished cases are called 'pending proceedings'.

For these pending proceedings, some new rules don't apply. These new rules are sections 226A, 226B, 226C, and 226D.

Instead, the old version of Section 226 will still be used for your case. It's as if the new law hadn't started yet. This old rule might need to be changed a bit to make sure it still works properly for your case.

This helps make sure that cases that were already going when the new law started are treated fairly and consistently.
