Abeln and Abeln

In the matter of *Abeln and Abeln*, heard by Judge Young, the dispute concerned the urgent return of two children, born in 2015 and 2018 respectively, to their mother. The father was ordered to facilitate this return.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the children should be returned to the mother, as sought by her initiating application. This involved considering the welfare and best interests of the children in the context of their relocation and parental arrangements.

Judge Young ordered the father to return the children to the mother at Sydney Domestic Airport on a specified date and time. The court further ordered the father to pay the mother's costs associated with the application, including her travel expenses and the children's return travel costs. The mother's initiating application was otherwise dismissed.
