Child Support Registrar and McIntyre

In the matter of the Child Support Registrar and McIntyre, heard before Judge Henderson, the dispute concerned an assessment of child support for the period of 1 July 2014 to 31 March 2015. The court was tasked with determining the validity and quantum of this assessment.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the child support assessment issued by the Registrar was appropriate and, if not, what adjustments should be made. This involved considering the evidence presented regarding the parties' financial circumstances and the application of the relevant child support legislation.

Judge Henderson reasoned that the assessment should be reduced to nil, indicating a finding that no child support was payable for the specified period. The court also ordered that an existing injunction preventing the husband from dealing with his property should continue until any outstanding debt was paid. The Registrar was granted leave to relist the issue of enforcing any debt, and the injunction would be discharged upon satisfactory proof of payment.
