Child Support stay orders
Stay orders affect the operation of the Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989 (CSA Act) or the Child Support (Registration & Collection) Act 1988 (CSRC Act).
Stay orders are made under s111C of the CSRC Act. Stay orders under s111C can only be made if there are current proceedings under child support legislation. Stay orders should not be made when there are current proceedings under other legislation such as when a variation to a registered overseas maintenance liability is being sought under regulation 36 of the Family Law Regulations 1984 or the parents are in court seeking parenting orders or property settlement.
In particular instances, stay orders can also be made under the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024 (ART Act).
Prior to 21 June 2007 stay orders could have been made under s140 CSA Act 1989.
