Kanelos and Kanelos (No 2)

In the matter of *Kanelos and Kanelos (No 2)*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the husband seeking a change of assessment and the discharge of a Child Support Departure order made under the *Child Support Assessment Act 1989*.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the existing Child Support Departure order should be varied or discharged, and consequently, whether the assessment of child support payable by the husband should be altered.

His Honour dismissed the husband's application. While the specific reasons for dismissal are not detailed in the provided extract, the decision indicates that the court found no grounds to alter the existing departure order or the consequential assessment of child support. The application was therefore unsuccessful.
