Brock & Brock

In the matter of *Brock & Brock*, Strickland J considered applications concerning the welfare of a child, K. The proceedings involved Mr. Brock and Mrs. Brock, who sought to adopt K.

The court was required to determine whether to grant leave for the child K's affidavit to be sworn and filed, for K to be present in court, to amend the applicant's final orders to include Mrs. Brock, and for proceedings to be commenced for the adoption of K by both Mr. and Mrs. Brock.

Strickland J granted leave for the child K's affidavit to be sworn and filed, and for K to be present in court, pursuant to section 100B of the *Family Law Act 1975*. Leave was also granted to amend the application for final orders to include Mrs. Brock. Furthermore, leave was granted under section 60G of the *Family Law Act 1975* for adoption proceedings to be commenced by Mr. and Mrs. Brock.

Ultimately, all applications before the court were dismissed and removed from the active pending cases list.
