Chapter 7 : Contribution Orders

47. Change of place of residence or place of work by respondent

 

1)
a) If a respondent against whom a contribution order has been made, during the currency of the order changes his place of residence or place of work, he shall forthwith give notice in writing to the clerk of the court by which the order was made and shall in that notice state fully and clearly where the place of residence to which he has moved is situated or where his new place of work is.
b) Any person who fails to give notice as required by this subsection shall be guilty of an offence.

 

2) When a respondent against whom a contribution order is in force, removes to and becomes resident or takes up employment in a district other than that of the court which made the order, that court shall, without prior notice to the respondent, vary the order by designating as the officer to whom payment shall be made, an officer of the corresponding court of the district to which the respondent has removed or in which he has taken up employment, and when a court has so varied an order it shall transmit a certified copy of the order to the court to which the officer so designated is attached and inform the respondent by notice in writing of the variation of the order, and thereupon the order shall have effect and be enforceable as if it were an order of such last-mentioned court.
