Hyde v. Commissioner of Inland Revenue

New Zealand Family Court
[2000] N.Z.F.L.R. 385 (2000)

Facts

Natasha Hyde (plaintiff) had a falling-out with her parents when she was about 16 years old. Hyde moved out of her family home and worked while she attended college, but she was unable to support herself. Soon after Hyde moved out, she filed applications for orders for her parents to pay child support to her. Hyde’s applications indicated that she was the child in need of support and that she was her own custodian, known as a guardian in other jurisdictions. Hyde’s applications were denied based on the reasoning that a child could not apply for child support to be paid to herself. Hyde appealed, arguing that because she was providing care for herself, she was her own custodian and was entitled to receive child support in that role.
