2Making of liability order
“(1)
Where it appears to the Secretary of State that—
(a)
a person has failed to pay an amount of child support maintenance, and
(b)
either—
(i)
it is inappropriate to make a deduction from earnings order against the person (because, for example, the person is not employed), or
(ii)
although a deduction from earnings order has been made against the person, it has proved ineffective as a means of securing that payments are made in accordance with the maintenance calculation in question,
the Secretary of State may make an order in respect of that amount against the person.”
