This is the original version (as it was originally made).

Effect on maintenance calculation – general

This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum

74.—(1) Subject to paragraph (5), where more than one variation is agreed to in respect of the same period, regulations 72 and 73 apply and the results are to be aggregated as appropriate.

(2) Paragraph 7(2) to (7) of Schedule 1 to the 1991 Act(1) (shared care) applies where the rate of child support maintenance is affected by a variation which is agreed to and paragraph 7(2) is to be read as if after the words “as calculated in accordance with the preceding paragraphs of this Part of this Schedule” there were inserted the words, “, Schedule 4B and regulations made under that Schedule”.

(3) Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), where the non-resident parent shares the care of a qualifying child within the meaning in Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the 1991 Act, or where the care of such a child is shared with a local authority, the amount of child support maintenance that the non-resident parent is liable to pay to the person with care, calculated to take account of any variation, is to be reduced in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 7 of that Part or regulation 53 (care provided in part by a local authority), as the case may be.

(4) If the application of paragraph (3) would decrease the weekly amount of child support maintenance (or the aggregate of all such amounts) payable by the non-resident parent to the person with care (or all of them) to less than a figure equivalent to the flat rate referred to in paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 1 to the 1991 Act (or in that sub-paragraph as modified by regulations under paragraph 10A of Schedule 1), the non-resident parent is instead liable to pay child support maintenance at a rate equivalent to that flat rate apportioned if appropriate as provided in paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to that Act.

(5) The effect of a variation is not to be applied for any period during which a circumstance referred to in regulation 57(1)(d) to (f) (rejection of an application following preliminary consideration) applies.

(1)

Paragraph 7(2) was amended by paragraphs 1 and 6 of Schedule 4 to the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Act 2008 (c. 6) (“the 2008 Act”).
