Kaufman and Kaufman (Child support)

The matter of *Kaufman and Kaufman* concerned an appeal to the Child Support Registrar regarding a child support assessment. The dispute centred on the percentage of care arrangements for the parties' child, with the appellant seeking to have existing determinations revoked and new ones made. The decision under review was 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 existing percentage of care determinations and making new ones. This involved an assessment of the factual circumstances and their impact on the established care arrangements.

The court affirmed the decision of the Child Support Registrar. The reasoning applied focused on the evidence presented regarding the care arrangements and whether it demonstrated a sufficient change to warrant altering the existing percentage of care. The Registrar’s original decision was found to be sound, leading to the affirmation of the existing determinations.
