The Child Support Act 1991: a Practitioner's Guide

Synopsis

The Child Support Act 1991 is one of the most complex and controversial pieces of legislation to have affected practitioners in recent years, not least because it has reduced the role of the courts, introduced applications for assessment, and created new systems for collection and enforcement. "The Child Support Act 1991 - a Practitioner's Guide" is an essential practical guide to this important piece of legislation. It includes the full text of the Act and relevant Regulations and Orders, with extensive cross-references to the narrative. The book's approach will immediately appeal because it looks closely at the formulae for assessment and the data required to calculate them, giving numerous examples to explain the way the formulae work.
