The applicant father brought a motion under Rule 25(19) of the Family Law Rules to set aside or vary a 2018 final order regarding child support arrears and section 7 expenses.
He alleged the order was obtained by fraud because the respondent mother misrepresented facts about where the children lived and her income.
The court found that the father had wilfully ignored the 2018 proceedings despite having notice, and failed to prove fraud.
The motion was dismissed, save for minor calculation errors conceded by the mother.
