Zamorano and Zamorano (Child support)

This matter concerned an appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Australia regarding child support assessments. The parties, identified as Zamorano and Zamorano, were in dispute over the percentage of care arrangements for their child. The primary issue before the court was whether the existing percentage of care determinations should be revoked and new determinations made.

The court was required to determine whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child. A further legal issue was whether it was appropriate to consider daytime care when assessing the percentage of care for the purposes of child support.

The court considered the evidence presented regarding the care arrangements for the child. It applied the principles of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* concerning the assessment of care percentages. The court found that it was appropriate to consider daytime care in its assessment. Based on its findings, the court concluded that the existing percentage of care determinations were no longer accurate and should be revoked.

The court affirmed the decision to revoke the existing percentage of care determinations and made new determinations reflecting the changed circumstances.
