Regulation 3A Notice of consequences of failure to pay child support maintenance dueF1
This paragraph applies to a case where—
either—
there are arrangements for direct pay, or
the Secretary of State is arranging for the collection of child support maintenance under section 29 of the 1991 Act but there are no arrangements for enforcement under the 1991 Act; and
the non-resident parent has failed to make one or more payments of child support maintenance due.
Where paragraph (1) applies to a case, the Secretary of State may only start making arrangements for collection under section 29 of the 1991 Act or arrangements for enforcement under the 1991 Act (or both) where the non-resident parent has been given a notice, within the preceding 12 month period, setting out that the Secretary of State will consider making such arrangements where there is a failure to make one or more payments of child support maintenance due.
