Sharma and Duck (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the dispute between Sharma and Duck concerning the percentage of care arrangements for a child. The applicant, Sharma, sought to have the existing percentage of care determinations revoked.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child that would warrant revoking the existing percentage of care determinations.

The Tribunal found that there was no evidence of a change to the likely pattern of care. Applying the principles of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988*, the Tribunal held that existing percentage of care determinations should not be revoked in the absence of a significant and likely alteration to the care arrangements.

The decision under review was affirmed.
