Section 142E — Family Proceedings Act 1980: Court may make provisional order discharging, etc, child maintenance order

142E Court may make provisional order discharging, etc, child maintenance order (1) If it appears to the Court, on an application under section 142B , that the order it proposes to make is one that, if made provisionally, may be confirmed under the law of the country in which the child maintenance order was made, the New Zealand Court may, instead of making the proposed order, make a provisional order. (2) A provisional order has no effect unless and until it is confirmed by a competent Court in the country in which the child maintenance order was originally made. (3) Subsections (5) to (9) of section 147 apply, except that the Court must, instead of sending the statement referred to in subsection (6)(c) of that section, send a statement of the grounds on which the provisional order has been made. Sections 142A to 142F were inserted, as from 15 November 2000, by section 6 Family Proceedings Amendment Act 2000 (2000 No 66).
