The court shall, from time to time, subject to the approval of the Governor, appoint one or more collecting officers who shall be styled "the collecting officer" for the place to which they are appointed and, in default of such appointment, the Clerk of the Court shall be the collecting officer for Grand Cayman and the District Commissioner shall be the collecting officer for Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
Where the court makes an affiliation order it may, upon the application of the mother or guardian of the child, either at the time of making the order or subsequently on an ex parte application to vary the same, if it is satisfied that it is desirable so to do, provide in the order that all payments made under such order shall be made to the collecting officer.
Payment of the amount ordered may be made to the collecting officer in person, or by letter sent by registered post properly addressed to the collecting officer and posted in time to be delivered to him on the day appointed for payment.
It shall be the duty of the collecting officer to receive all payments directed to be made to him under this Law and to make payment fortnightly to the mother of the child or to such other person as is named in the affiliation order of the sum directed to be paid under the order or such part thereof as he receives without making any deduction therefrom.
