BELLINI & BELLINI (No.2)

The parties in this matter were Bellini and Bellini (No.2), with the dispute concerning parenting arrangements. The decision was made by Bruce Smith J.

The central legal issue before the court was whether supervised time with a parent was required in the circumstances of this case.

His Honour determined that supervision was not necessary. The court applied principles of family law concerning the best interests of the child, considering the evidence presented regarding the parents' capacity and the child's welfare. The assessment led to the conclusion that unsupervised contact would be appropriate.
