Boston and Jold

The case of *Boston and Jold* concerned an application before Stevenson J in the Family Court of Australia regarding parenting orders for two children. The dispute centred on the arrangements for the children's time with their father, following previous orders made by the Court.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the existing parenting orders, which had been made and subsequently varied, should continue in force. A secondary issue related to the specific arrangements for the children's next period of time with their father, including the location and timing of these arrangements.

Stevenson J determined that the existing orders, as varied, should remain in place pending further orders of the Court. This decision reflects an assessment that the current arrangements were appropriate to continue for the time being. The Court also made specific directions regarding the children's next period of time with their father, stipulating that this would occur at a time nominated by the manager of the Interrelate Centre at R. This indicates a focus on supervised or facilitated contact, with an external professional agency overseeing the practical arrangements.
