Domestic Proceedings and Magistrates’ Courts Act 1978
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
20A Revival of orders for periodical payments.
(1) Where an order made by the family court under this Part of this Act for the making of periodical payments to or in respect of a child (other than an interim maintenance order) ceases to have effect— (a) on the date on which the child attains the age of sixteen, or (b) at any time after that date but before or on the date on which he attains the age of eighteen, the child may apply to the court ... for an order for its revival. (2) If on such an application it appears to the court that— (a) the child is, will be or (if an order were made under this subsection) would be receiving instruction at an educational establishment or undergoing training for a trade, profession or vocation, whether or not while in gainful employment, or (b) there are special circumstances which justify the making of an order under this subsection, the court shall have power by order to revive the order from such date as the court may specify, not being earlier than the date of the making of the application. (3) An order revived under this section may be varied or revoked under section 20 in the same way as it could have been varied or revoked had it continued in being.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
