Nealey and Nealey (Child support)

The applicants, Nealey and Nealey, sought to extend a child support assessment beyond their child's eighteenth birthday. The matter came before the court for review of a decision concerning the particulars of an administrative assessment.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the child support assessment could be extended beyond the child's eighteenth birthday, specifically in relation to the application of the "last day of the school year" provision.

The court affirmed the decision under review, finding that the last day of the school year had been correctly applied in determining the end date of the child support assessment. This indicated that the assessment had been calculated in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions for extending child support obligations in cases where a child remains enrolled in secondary education.
