Maintenance (Amendment) Bill, 2024

Closes 25 Nov 2024

Opened 26 Oct 2024

Overview

The Ministry of Investment, Innovation and Social Development (MIISD) is undertaking legislative reform to the Children Act (2012 Revision), Adoption of Children Act (2021 Revision) and Older Persons Act, 2017. These amendments represent a continued commitment to safeguarding and enhancing the rights and protections for children, young people, and older persons in the Cayman Islands. This consultation is specifically in regards to the Maintenance (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which is part of the  reform undertaken for the Children Act (2012 Revision).

The amendments propose to streamline the provisions for maintenance and financial orders relating to children under one legislative framework, which is the Children (Amendment) Bill and as such propose to repeal reference to children in the Maintenance Act (1996 Revision).

 

Why your views matter

The amendments are apart of the continued commitment to ensuring best practice and enhancing the framework and delivery of services for children and persons within the Cayman Islands.

We want to seek feedback to ensure that the amendments are fit-for-purpose.
