Atley and Dumont and Anor

In the matter of *Atley and Dumont and Anor*, heard before Judge Lapthorn, the dispute concerned the time and communication arrangements for two children, [X] and [Y], with their Maternal Grandmother.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of contact between the children and their Maternal Grandmother, considering the ages of the children and the need for supervision in certain circumstances.

The court ordered that until the younger child, [Y], turned eight years of age, contact would be supervised at the [T] Children’s Contact Centre for two hours once a month. Following this period, contact would transition to unsupervised for four hours once a month in Toowoomba. Additionally, the children were to communicate by telephone with the Maternal Grandmother once a fortnight when in their father's care, subject to arrangement between the parties. The Maternal Grandmother was ordered to bear all costs associated with the contact centre for the supervised contact period. Both parties were directed to complete the necessary intake process for the contact centre within 14 days, with each party to bear their own costs for this intake process.
