Greengard and Anstead (Child support)

This matter concerned an appeal by the applicant, Greengard, against a decision of the Child Support Registrar regarding the percentage of care for the parties' child. The dispute centred on the Registrar's determination of the likely pattern of care from the commencement of the administrative assessment, which Greengard sought to have set aside and substituted with a different assessment. Anstead, the respondent, was the other party to the child support assessment.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Registrar's decision regarding the percentage of care was correct. This involved determining the likely pattern of care from the start of the administrative assessment, and whether any special circumstances existed that would have prevented Greengard from lodging an objection within the prescribed time limit.

The court considered the evidence presented regarding the care arrangements for the child. It found that there were no special circumstances that prevented Greengard from lodging the objection within the statutory timeframe. Consequently, the court upheld the Registrar's decision.
