BODILSON & GILBERT (No.2)

In the matter of *Bodilson & Gilbert (No.2)*, Judge Obradovic of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the father seeking permission to change the school of the parties' three children. The dispute concerned the educational arrangements for X, Y, and Z, with the father proposing their enrolment at B Public School.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to permit the father to change the children's school to B Public School, commencing in the first term of the 2019 school year. This required the Court to determine the best interests of the children in relation to their schooling arrangements.

The Court ordered that the previous order made on 28 February 2018 be discharged. The parties were directed to take all necessary steps, including signing all required documents, to enrol X, Y, and Z at B Public School from the commencement of the 2019 school year. To ensure compliance, the Registrar of the Court was empowered under section 106A of the *Family Law Act 1975* to sign any necessary documents in the place of a defaulting party, thereby giving the orders full force and effect.
