Section 142C — Family Proceedings Act 1980: Conditions relating to variation of child maintenance order

142C Conditions relating to variation of child maintenance order (1) An application for a variation of a child maintenance order must be dealt with as if the maintenance order had been made in New Zealand on the date when it was made outside New Zealand. (2) An order varying a child maintenance order by increasing the amount payable under it may, if the Court thinks fit, take effect from a date that is earlier than the date of the order of variation, but must not be earlier than the date on which the grounds for the variation arose. Sections 142A to 142F were inserted, as from 15 November 2000, by section 6 Family Proceedings Amendment Act 2000 (2000 No 66).
