Child Support Act 1991

Collection of financial support - Due dates for payment of financial support

134B: Act's provisions on liable person's financial support debt also apply to payees' debts arising from overpayments

You could also call this:

“Rules for paying back extra child support also apply to people who got too much”

This part of the law says that the rules about money owed by someone who needs to pay child support also apply to people who get child support payments but were given too much money. If you get child support and you were paid too much, you might need to pay some money back. The same rules that apply to people who owe child support payments will apply to you. These rules are explained in other parts of the law, like sections 134, 135, and up to 135G. There are also some special rules in sections 151(2) and 151AA(5) and (6) that talk about how this works.
