    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC16504/2014

    The court found applicant's circumstances had materially changed after 2017 (reduced earning capacity and new family commitments) but also noted applicant's inconsistent payments and disposable income; balancing needs and means the court reduced the periodical child maintenance from HK$9,000 to HK$5,700 per month effective 1 January 2018, calculated arrears for Jan 2018–Oct 2019 at HK$125,400 less payments of HK$40,000 leaving arrears of HK$85,400, and ordered that arrears be repaid at HK$700 per month starting 1 December 2019 while current maintenance is due monthly in advance.
