38B  Decision by Registrar based on payment record and other factors
 (1) The Registrar may decide that an enforceable maintenance liability should no longer be enforced under this Act if all the following conditions are met:
 (a) the payer is taken, under the regulations, to have a satisfactory payment record in relation to the previous 6 months;
 (b) the Registrar is satisfied that the payer is likely to continue to have a satisfactory payment record;
 (c) the Registrar is satisfied that a decision under this section is appropriate in relation to the liability.
 (2) If the Registrar makes a decision under subsection (1), the Registrar must vary the particulars relating to the liability in the Child Support Register by specifying a day (not earlier than 28 days after the day on which the Registrar makes the decision) as the day on which the liability ceases to be enforceable under this Act.
 (3) If, before the day specified in a variation under subsection (2), the Registrar decides to revoke the decision that gave rise to the variation, the Registrar must vary the particulars concerned in the Child Support Register to give effect to the revocation.
 (4) The revocation takes effect on the day the Registrar varies the particulars concerned.
