CHILD SUPPORT (ASSESSMENT) ACT 1989 No. 124 of 1989 - SECT 14

14. (1) Without prejudice to its effect apart from this section, this Act so
far as it relates to the maintenance of children also has effect as provided
by this section.

(2) This Act so far as it relates to the maintenance of children has, because
of this section, the effect that it would have if:

   (a)  each reference to a child were, by express provision, confined to a
        child of a marriage; and

   (b)  each reference to the parents of the child were, by express provision,
        confined to the parties to the marriage; and has that effect only so
        far as it makes provision with respect to the rights and duties of the
        parties to the marriage in relation to the child, including, for
        example, provision with respect to the rights and duties of the
        parties in relation to the maintenance of the child.
