Givenchy and Mollini (Child support)

The case of *Givenchy and Mollini* concerned a dispute over child support payments, brought before the court for review. The primary issue revolved around the percentages of care attributed to each parent and whether a change in the likely pattern of care warranted an adjustment to the existing child support assessment.

The court was required to determine whether the decision under review, which affirmed the existing percentages of care, was correct. This involved assessing whether the evidence presented demonstrated a sufficient change in the likely pattern of care to justify a reassessment of child support obligations under the relevant legislation.

In reaching its decision, the court considered the principles governing changes to care arrangements and their impact on child support assessments. The court affirmed the decision under review, finding that the evidence did not establish a material change in the likely pattern of care that would necessitate an alteration to the existing child support assessment. The court applied the established legal framework for assessing care percentages and changes thereto.
