(1A) Sub‑subparagraph (1)(c)(ii)(B) does not apply in relation to an international maintenance arrangement. (1B) Subsection (1) ceases to apply if: (a) a child support terminating event happens under subparagraph 12(4)(a)(i), in relation to a child and persons who are respectively a carer entitled to child support and a liable parent in relation to a child, because a person makes an election under section 151; and (b) the liability to pay or provide child support is under a child support agreement whose provisions are covered by subsection 95(2) or (3); and (c) the person who makes the election applies for an administrative assessment of child support under Part 4 before the liability to pay or provide child support under the agreement ends. (1C) To avoid doubt, the order is taken to revive at the start of the day the person makes the application for administrative assessment of child support. (2) Nothing in this section affects the recovery of arrears due under an order when the order ceases to be in force.
