Commentary on Sections Overview Overview Section 94: Family expenses
384.This section sets out the family expenses that qualify for an allowance. It is based on section 80(6) and (9) of ICTA. The 60 day condition in section 80(5) of ICTA is in section 92(3)(c) of this Act.
385.Section 1 of the Family Law Reform Act 1987 (broadly) treats illegitimate children in the same way as legitimate children. Section 831(4) of ICTA disapplies that section. So section 80(9) of ICTA needs specially to bring illegitimate children within the scope of the relief in that section. Section 831(4) of ICTA does not apply to this Act. So the Family Law Reform Act ensures that illegitimate children are within this section.
