Locastro and Keogan (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the dispute between Locastro and Keogan concerning the particulars of a child support assessment. The core of the disagreement revolved around the application of a multi-case allowance and whether the other parent was a party to multiple child support assessments.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the multi-case allowance had been properly applied in the assessment and, consequently, whether the decision under review should be affirmed. This involved an examination of the specific circumstances of the parties' child support arrangements.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision under review, finding that the multi-case allowance was properly applied. The reasoning focused on the factual circumstances of the parties' involvement in multiple child support assessments, which justified the allowance in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions.
