Thorn and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AHT) considered the dispute between Thorn and the Child Support Registrar concerning the percentage of care arrangements for a child. Thorn sought to revoke existing percentage of care determinations, arguing that there had been a change to the likely pattern of care.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the existing percentage of care determinations should be revoked. Specifically, the central issue was whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care that would justify a revocation of the current arrangements.

Member J Prentice found that there had been no change to the likely pattern of care. Consequently, the Tribunal refused to revoke the existing percentage of care determinations. The decision under review was set aside and substituted with the Tribunal's finding.
