Kemp and Gilliam (Child support)

The case of *Kemp and Gilliam* concerned a dispute over the percentage of care arrangements for a child. The applicant, Kemp, sought to have the existing percentage of care determinations revoked and new determinations made. The respondent, Gilliam, opposed this application. The matter came before the court for review.

The central 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. This required the court to assess the evidence presented by both parties regarding the actual and prospective care arrangements for the child.

The court considered the evidence and determined that a change to the likely pattern of care had occurred. Applying the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988*, the court found that the existing determinations were no longer reflective of the child's living arrangements. Consequently, the court varied the decision under review.
