# The Child Support (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Regulations 1995, Paragraph


8th November 1995
Sir
I refer to your letter of 7th November 1995 which reads as follows:
“I have the honour to refer to the Memorandum of Arrangements relating to the provision made for Child Support Maintenance between the Secretary of State for Social Security of the one part and the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland of the other part which came into effect on 5 April 1993 (which in this letter is referred to as “the Principal Memorandum") and to the recent discussions between the Department of Social Security and the Department of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland concerning the need to amend the Principal Memorandum so as to make further provision in relation to child support matters.
I now have the honour to propose the following amendments to the Principal Memorandum:
After paragraph (4) of Article 5 there shall be inserted:—
“(5) Subject to paragraph (7), where an application for a maintenance assessment is made under the provisions for one territory in relation to an absent parent, a person treated as such, or an alleged absent parent, who resides in the other territory, that application shall be dealt with in, and in accordance with the provision made for, the territory in which the person with care resides.
(6) Subject to paragraph (7), where an application for a maintenance assessment is made under section 7 of the Act by a qualifying child, the application shall be dealt with in, and in accordance with the provision made for, the territory in which the person with care of that child resides.
(7) Where paragraph (5) or (6) apply, the determining authority shall, in determining the amount of child support maintenance to be fixed by any maintenance assessment, take into account in calculating that amount, any provisions which would otherwise have been applicable to that calculation had the assessment been made in accordance with the provision made for the other territory.”.
