CaseChat Overview and Summary

The case of *Horvath and Horvath* concerned a dispute over the percentage of care for the child, with the applicant seeking to revoke existing determinations and have new ones made. The respondent also sought to have the existing determinations revoked. The matter came before the court for review of a decision made by the Child Support Registrar.

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 revoking the existing percentage of care determinations and making new ones. The court was also required to consider whether the parties had taken reasonable action to reach an agreement regarding the care of the child and the application of an interim period.

The court found that there had been a change to the likely pattern of care and that the existing determinations were no longer accurate. It was also satisfied that both parents had taken reasonable action to reach an agreement. The court determined that the decision under review should be set aside and substituted with new percentage of care determinations, reflecting the changed circumstances. The court also made orders regarding the application of an interim period.
