CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Benworth and Benworth (No 2)*, Justice Rose of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia made interim orders concerning the parenting arrangements for the child of the parties, M. The dispute involved the father's time with the child and the conditions attached to that time, particularly in relation to travel and the child's residence within Australia.
The court was required to determine the specific periods the child would spend with the father, the arrangements for the transfer of the child between parents, and whether the father could travel with the child to Adelaide. Additionally, the court considered the need to prevent the child from being removed from Australia.
Justice Rose ordered that a previous order regarding the child's time with the father be suspended. The court then set out a detailed schedule for the child's time with the father during the Christmas and New Year period of 2010-2011. The father was to collect and return the child to the mother's residence for changeovers. The father was permitted to travel with the child to Adelaide, provided he supplied the mother with a detailed itinerary, including flight details and accommodation information, at least three days prior to travel. Crucially, the court also made an order restraining the parties from removing the child from the Commonwealth of Australia and requested the Australian Federal Police place the child on the Airport Watch List.
