Effect of revocation of parentage order
42 Effect of revocation of parentage order
This section provides for the effect of an order revoking a parentage order made in relation to a child.
On and from the date the order is made, the rights, privileges, duties, liabilities and relationships of the child under the law of the Territory and of all other persons are to be determined as if the parentage order had not been made.
Subject to the terms of the order, subsection (2) does not affect:
anything lawfully done under the parentage order or while the parentage order was in force; or
any right, privilege, duty or liability that vested while the parentage order was in effect.
Nothing in this section prevents the name of the child being subsequently changed under the Births, Deaths and Marriages
Registration Act 1996 or other applicable law.
