36  Registrar to vary Child Support Register on receipt of notification or application
 (1) When the Registrar receives under subsection 33(1), 34(1) or 35(1) or (2) an application or notice (as the case may be) from the payee or payer of a registrable maintenance liability, the Registrar must, within 28 days after receipt of the application or notice, make such variations (if any) to the particulars entered in the Child Support Register in relation to the liability as the Registrar considers necessary or desirable to:
 (a) enable the relevant order or maintenance agreement to be given effect to under this Act; or
 (b) take account of the happening of the relevant affecting event;
as the case requires.
 (2) However, if either the payer or the payee is a resident of a reciprocating jurisdiction, the Registrar has 90 days to make the variations, instead of 28 days.
