Kendrick and Dunajski (Child support)

The case of Kendrick and Dunajski concerned a dispute regarding the percentage of care arrangements for a child. The matter came before the court for review of a previous decision.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the existing percentage of care determinations should be revoked. This involved an assessment of whether there had been any change to the likely pattern of care for the child.

The court reasoned that the existing percentage of care determinations should not be revoked in the absence of a change to the likely pattern of care. The court applied the principle that such determinations are made based on the established care arrangements and should only be altered if there is a demonstrable shift in those arrangements. The decision under review was therefore set aside and substituted.
