Blackwood& Blackwood

In the matter of *Blackwood & Blackwood*, heard before Cronin J, the husband had filed a contravention application. The wife's costs of the day were reserved.

The primary legal issue before the court was the husband's contravention application. The court also noted the parties' intention to arrange confidential Family Dispute Resolution counselling.

Cronin J adjourned the husband's contravention application to a later date, ordering that the husband serve his application, affidavit, and a sealed copy of the court's order upon the Independent Children’s Lawyer. The court certified that it was reasonable to engage counsel to attend the proceedings. The parties were directed to make their own efforts to arrange Family Dispute Resolution counselling.
