Pellegrino and Cabrera (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered a dispute between the parties, referred to as Pellegrino and Cabrera, concerning a binding child support agreement. The core of the disagreement revolved around whether a specific condition within that agreement, designed to allow for its termination, had been met.

The Tribunal was tasked with determining whether the condition for terminating the binding child support agreement had been satisfied. Specifically, the Tribunal had to ascertain if the liable parent's income had exceeded the amount stipulated in the agreement, which was the trigger for the termination clause.

The Tribunal found that the condition for termination had not been met. The liable parent's income did not reach the threshold specified in the agreement. Consequently, the decision under review, which affirmed that the agreement remained binding, was affirmed by the Tribunal.
