Rosales and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the dispute between Rosales and the Child Support Registrar concerning the percentage of care arrangements for a child. The Registrar had made new determinations regarding the percentage of care, which Rosales sought to have reviewed.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the Registrar had correctly revoked existing percentage of care determinations and made new ones. This involved determining whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care that warranted such a revocation and redetermination under the relevant legislation.

The Tribunal affirmed the Registrar's decision, finding that the existing percentage of care determinations were correctly revoked and that new determinations were appropriately made. The reasoning applied by the Tribunal focused on the evidence presented regarding the actual and likely future pattern of care for the child, concluding that the Registrar's actions were consistent with the legislative requirements for making such determinations.
