Teague and Monti (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the dispute between Teague and Monti concerning the percentage of care arrangements for their child. The applicant, Teague, sought to revoke existing care percentage determinations, arguing that there had been a change in the likely pattern of care.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the circumstances warranted a revocation of the current care percentage determinations under the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* (Cth). Specifically, the Tribunal had to determine if there had been a change to the likely pattern of care at the relevant times that would justify altering the established percentages.

The Tribunal found that the evidence did not support the applicant's assertion of a change in the likely pattern of care. It concluded that no significant alterations had occurred in the care arrangements at the times in question that would provide a basis for revoking the existing determinations. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the decision under review and substituted it with its own decision.
