Sinclair and Muir (Child support)

The case of *Sinclair and Muir (Child Support)* concerned a dispute between the parties regarding the percentage of care for their child. The applicant sought to revoke existing percentage of care determinations and have new determinations made, alleging a change to the likely pattern of care. The respondent contested this, and the matter came before the court for review.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child, which would necessitate the revocation of existing percentage of care determinations and the making of new ones. The court also had to consider whether the respondent had taken reasonable action to comply with court orders and the application of an interim period in the assessment of child support.

The court considered the evidence presented by both parties regarding the care arrangements for the child. It found that the existing percentage of care determinations were no longer accurate due to a change in the likely pattern of care. The court determined that the respondent had not taken reasonable action to comply with court orders, and therefore, an interim period was applied in the assessment. The decision under review, which had revoked the existing determinations and made new ones, was affirmed.
