Senate
Family Law Amendment (De Facto Financial Matters and Other Measures) Bill 2008
Supplementary Explanatory Memorandum
Circulated by authority of the Attorney-General, the Honourable Robert McClelland MPFINANCIAL IMPACT STATEMENT
There are no significant financial impacts from these amendments except to the extent that the provisions in the new Schedule 3A impact upon the Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989. Section 5 of that Act adopts the provisions of section 60H of the Family Law Act dealing with children born using artificial conception procedures. The expansion of persons who will be regarded as parents made by the Schedule will have some impact on the operation of the Child Support Scheme but that impact is not expected to be significant.
