ANDREADIS & ANDREADIS

In the matter of ANDREADIS & ANDREADIS, before Judge Young, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for the child X, born in 2011. The proceedings involved the father and the mother, with the court making orders by consent and further orders until a specified date.

The court was required to determine interim parenting orders regarding where the child X would live and spend time, and to facilitate a process for resolving outstanding disputes. This included orders aimed at protecting the child from parental conflict and ensuring appropriate communication between the parents.

The court made orders by consent that the child X would spend time with the mother at the paternal aunt’s home as agreed, and that both parents were restrained from denigrating each other in the child's presence. Communication between the parents was limited to issues concerning the child. Further orders stipulated that the child X would live with the father, and spend time with the mother at mutually agreed dates and times. Pursuant to s.11F of the Family Law Act 1975, the parties and the child were ordered to attend a child inclusive conference with a Family Consultant, who was to provide advice to the court on agreed issues, disputed issues, and recommendations for interim or procedural orders. The matter was adjourned for an interim hearing to determine the final living and spending time arrangements.
