Carr and Carr

In *Carr and Carr*, heard by Judge Altobelli, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for a child, X. The orders indicate a complex situation involving undertakings from the Respondent Mother and another individual, Mr M, regarding alcohol consumption and supervision during the child's time with the Mother. The Father was ordered to return the child to the Mother, with existing orders to resume at a later date.

The court was required to determine the appropriate interim parenting orders, specifically addressing the conditions under which the child would spend time with the Mother, given concerns likely related to alcohol use. The court also needed to consider measures to protect the child from parental conflict and to manage the ongoing progression of the case.

The court's reasoning, as evidenced by the orders, focused on ensuring the child's safety and well-being by imposing strict undertakings on the Mother and Mr M concerning alcohol. These undertakings were a prerequisite for the child's return to the Mother's care. The court also implemented orders to shield the child from parental disputes and established a framework for future review and potential further orders, granting liberty to the Independent Children's Lawyer to re-list the matter if necessary.
