Huntingdon and Huntingdon (Child support)

The case of *Huntingdon and Huntingdon (Child Support)* concerned a dispute between the parties regarding alleged unpaid child support amounts. The matter came before the court for review of a decision made under the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* (Cth).

The primary legal issue before the court was whether there were indeed unpaid child support amounts, and if so, to which specific periods those outstanding payments related. The court was required to determine the validity and extent of the claimed arrears.

The court's reasoning focused on the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* concerning the collection of unpaid child support. It was found that the application for the collection of unpaid amounts should only be partially accepted, indicating that not all of the claimed arrears were substantiated. Consequently, the decision under review was set aside and substituted with a new determination.
