CaseChat Overview and Summary
The case of *Kasas and Fisher* concerned a dispute regarding the percentage of care arrangements for a child. The applicant, Kasas, sought to have the existing percentage of care determinations revoked and new determinations made. The respondent, Fisher, opposed this application. 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 that would justify revoking the existing percentage of care determinations and making new ones. The court was required to consider the evidence presented regarding the care arrangements and determine if the threshold for altering the established percentage of care had been met.
The court affirmed the decision under review, finding that there had been no change to the cost percentage. The court exercised its discretion to revoke the existing percentage of care determinations and make new determinations, indicating that the evidence supported a modification of the care arrangements. The specific reasons for this exercise of discretion were not detailed beyond the affirmation of the Registrar's decision.
