CaseChat Overview and Summary
The matter of *Errington and Errington (Child Support)* concerned a dispute between the parties regarding the percentage of care for their child. The decision was made by Judicial Officer Prentice 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 necessitate a review and potential alteration of existing percentage of care determinations. The court also considered the implications of non-compliance with previous court orders and the application of an interim period in determining the appropriate care arrangements.
Judicial Officer Prentice M reasoned that the existing percentage of care determinations were no longer reflective of the actual care arrangements for the child. The court found that the parties had not complied with prior court orders, leading to an unstable and altered pattern of care. Consequently, the Judicial Officer determined that the previous decision under review should be set aside and substituted with a new determination that accurately reflected the current circumstances and the likely future pattern of care.
