About this statute

This part defines key terms and sets rules for who is treated as a child, parent, or father, including assisted reproduction and adoption. This provision covers parentage evidence, court-ordered tests, filing parentage declarations, and rules for custody, access, and guardianship of children. The court process requires the clerk to give the report to the parties and the child’s solicitor, keep it confidential, and lets the court control assessment directions and cost allocation. This provision covers child guardianship and child support, including a parent’s support duty, the child’s right to withdraw from parental charge at 16, and the guardian’s duty to transfer the child’s property at 19. This part sets up a Recalculation Service to review and recalculate child support, with registration, income-information, decision, objection, fee, liability, and confidentiality rules.
