CaseChat Overview and Summary

The applicant, Wolfe, sought to revoke existing percentage of care determinations made under the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* (Cth) concerning the care of two children. The respondent, also named Wolfe, opposed this application. The matter came before the court for review of the initial decision to refuse the revocation.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care of the children since the existing percentage of care determinations were made. The court was required to assess if this change, if any, warranted the revocation of those determinations.

The court considered the evidence presented regarding the care arrangements for the children. It found that the evidence did not demonstrate a change to the likely pattern of care that would justify revoking the existing percentage of care determinations. The court applied the principles established under the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* concerning the assessment of care arrangements and the criteria for revoking such determinations. The court affirmed the original decision to refuse the revocation.
