The Family Proceedings Fees (Amendment) Order 2008
This Order amends the Family Proceedings Fees Order 2008 to take account of the coming into force of sections 1 to 5 and 8 of the Children and Adoption Act 2006, the Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act 2007 and the Welfare Reform Act 2007. The 2006 Act inserts new provisions into the Children Act 1989, and this Order makes provision for those applications by inserting new fees into fee 2.1. The Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act 2007 inserts a new application into the Family Law Act 1996, which is provided for by an amendment to fee 1.3. The Welfare Reform Act 2007 introduces a new benefit, income-related employment and support allowance. This Order inserts the benefit into the list of qualifying benefits in Schedule 2 (which deals with fee remission).
