Child Support (Adoption of Laws) Amendment Bill 2009
Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 15 February 2011general_report
The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Child Support (Adoption of Laws) Amendment Bill 2009, which adopts Commonwealth amendments to child support legislation to ensure consistent treatment of nuptial and ex-nuptial children. The committee found the bill's structure convoluted and recommended expediting future amendments to avoid financial disadvantage to ex-nuptial children and their carers.
Impact
Ex-nuptial children and their carers in Western Australia are directly affected. Delays in adopting Commonwealth amendments can financially disadvantage them compared to nuptial children and those in other states.
