Beaumont and Timbs

In the matter of *Beaumont and Timbs*, heard by Judge Harland, the dispute concerned parenting orders relating to a child, X. The father was required to file and serve a Response, Affidavit in support, and a Notice of Risk within 28 days. The court also made orders regarding the child's living arrangements and the father's time with the child, which was to be supervised by a supervisor consented to by the mother.

The court was required to determine the terms of interim parenting orders, including the child's residence, the father's time with the child, and the procedural requirements for the parties to rely on evidence. The court also considered the implications of contravening these orders, referencing sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975*.

Judge Harland ordered that the child X live with the mother and that the father spend time with X as agreed, with such time to be supervised by a supervisor consented to by the mother. The court also stipulated that parties would not be permitted to rely on material filed less than three working days prior to the next court event, and any subpoena material to be relied upon must be made returnable at least three days prior to the hearing, with leave for late filings granted only in circumstances of urgency. The orders made on 17 December 2012 were suspended. The father was granted liberty to file an application in a case and have the matter listed before the scheduled mention hearing on 8 March 2017.
