Regulation 35 Termination and suspension of departure directions

Subject to paragraph (2), where a maintenance assessment made in consequence of a departure direction is cancelled or ceases to have effect, the departure direction shall cease to have effect and shall not subsequently take effect.

Where a child support officer ceases to have jurisdiction to make a maintenance assessment and subsequently acquires jurisdiction to make a maintenance assessment in respect of the same absent parent, person with care and any child with respect to whom the earlier assessment was made, a departure direction for a case falling within paragraph 3 or 4 of Schedule 4B to the Act shall again take effect from the effective date of a fresh maintenance assessment.
