CaseChat Overview and Summary
The dispute in *Stafford and Inwood* concerned the percentage of care arrangements for a child, with the applicant seeking new determinations of the child's percentage of care. The matter came before the Child Support Tribunal.
The Tribunal was required to determine whether the existing percentage of care determinations should be revoked and, if so, what new percentage of care determinations should be made, and from what date they should take effect. The central issue was whether the care arrangements previously reflected in the determinations were no longer being followed, necessitating a review.
The Tribunal considered the evidence presented regarding the actual care arrangements for the child. It found that the existing percentage of care determinations were no longer accurate because the parenting plan and the care arrangements it stipulated were not being followed. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the decision to revoke the existing determinations and make new percentage of care determinations, which would take effect from the date of the application for the new determinations.
