CHILD SUPPORT (ASSESSMENT) ACT 1989 - SECT 131

Court may make orders consequential upon the discharge of orders etc.

  (1)   This section applies where an order under section   123A or 124 is discharged by a court under section   129 or ceases to be in force because of section   142 (Cessation of orders under Act).

  (2)   A court having jurisdiction under this Act may make such orders (including orders for the transfer of property) as it considers just and equitable for the purpose of preserving or adjusting the rights of the child concerned or a person who is or was a carer entitled to child support, or a liable parent, in relation to the child.

  (3)   An order under subsection   (2) may be made in the proceeding in which the order is discharged or in another proceeding brought on the application of a person who is or was a carer entitled to child support, or a liable parent, in relation to the child concerned.

  (4)   In the exercise of its powers under this section, a court must have regard to the interests of, and must make any order proper for the protection of, a bona fide purchaser or other person interested.

  (5)   Without limiting any other powers conferred on a court by any other law, a court may vary or revoke an order made under this section if:

  (a)   the order was made because another order ceased to be in force under section   142; and

  (b)   the other order revives under subsections   142(1B) and (1C).
