Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought variation of a 2014 maintenance order requiring respondent to pay US$500 per child monthly. Due to SI 33/2019 converting USD obligations to RTGS at 1:1, respondent began paying RTGS$1500 total. Applicant rejected this as inadequate given inflation and children's needs.
