Adanti and Coli (No 3)

In *Adanti and Coli (No 3)*, Justice Macmillan of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the welfare of two children, B and C, and their parents, Ms Adanti (the mother) and Mr Coli (the father). The dispute involved preventing the children from being removed from Australia and ensuring the return of one child to the Commonwealth.

The court was required to determine whether to restrain the father from leaving Australia and to prevent both parents from removing the children from the Commonwealth. Additionally, the court needed to make orders for the return of child C to Australia and to facilitate a family consultant's assessment of the children and parents.

Justice Macmillan ordered that the father be restrained from leaving the Commonwealth and that his name be placed on the Airport Watch List. Both parents were restrained from removing the children, B and C, from Australia, and the children's names were also to be placed on the Airport Watch List. The father was directed to take all necessary steps to return child C to Australia, and upon her arrival, she was to live with him. The parties and children were ordered to attend a family consultant for a Children’s and Parents Issues Assessment, with the consultant permitted to inspect court documents and subpoenaed materials. All extant applications were adjourned for further hearing, and the costs of the day were reserved.
