Child Maintenance and Enforcement: The New Law is a detailed account of the new legislation. This invaluable and authoritative guide offers practitioners advice on the law, practice and procedure under the new regime which includes simplifying how child maintenance is calculated, encouraging parents to make their own child maintenance arrangements and introducing tougher enforcement powers to collect arrears of child maintenance from parents who fail to pay. The book also contains the full text of the Act. CONTENTS The background to and general principles of the Act How child maintenance is calculated Special cases: Revisions, variations and exceptions Procedure Voluntary agreements and the role of the courts Disputes as to parentage Appeals and judicial review Collection and enforcement Transitional provisions and miscellaneous matters
