C & C

The parties in this matter were C and C. The dispute concerned an application for an order for the registration of a child, born in 2019, as a child of the marriage between the parties. The application was heard by Moore J of the Federal Court of Australia.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the child, born in 2019, should be registered as a child of the marriage between C and C, pursuant to section 60H of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). This section deals with the presumption of parentage in circumstances where a child is born during a marriage.

Moore J considered the evidence before the court, including the fact that the child was born during the marriage of C and C. The court applied the presumption of parentage under section 60H of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), which presumes that a child born during a marriage is the child of the married couple. In the absence of any evidence to rebut this presumption, the court found that the child was a child of the marriage.

The court ordered that the child be registered as a child of the marriage between C and C.
