(c)

by virtue of an earlier order of the court.

to a person who has the care of a child in the United Kingdom;

(b)

in respect of the care of the child; and

(c)

under an agreement (whether enforceable or not) between that person and the person by whom the maintenance is payable, or by virtue of an order of the court.”.

Signed by authority of the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.
