Rennold and Gaddis (Child support)

The matter of *Rennold and Gaddis* concerned a dispute over the percentage of care attributed to each party for the purposes of child support assessment. The decision under review was affirmed by the court.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the correct percentage of care for the child, which directly impacts the calculation of child support obligations. This involved assessing the factual circumstances of the child's living arrangements and the practical realities of each parent's involvement in the child's daily life.

The court considered the evidence presented regarding the time the child spent with each parent. It applied the principles of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* to determine the percentage of care, focusing on the factual determination of where the child resided for the majority of the time. The court affirmed the decision under review, indicating that the previous assessment of the percentage of care was found to be correct based on the evidence and relevant legislation.
