Diver and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

This matter concerned an appeal by Diver against a decision of the Child Support Registrar. The dispute centred on the percentage of care arrangements for the parties' child, with the Registrar having revoked existing percentage of care determinations and made new ones. The appeal was heard by R King M.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child, which would justify the Registrar's decision to revoke the existing determinations and make new ones.

The court considered the evidence presented regarding the actual care arrangements for the child and the likely future pattern of care. It applied the principles of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* concerning changes to the percentage of care. The court found that the evidence did not support a change to the likely pattern of care as determined by the Registrar.

Consequently, the court set aside the decision under review and substituted it with a new determination reflecting the court's findings.
