Cash and Graham and Anor

In *Cash and Graham and Anor*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications concerning the living arrangements and time spent with a child born in November 1992. The proceedings involved the applicant mother, the respondent father, and the respondent grandmother.

The central legal issues before the Court were the determination of the child's primary residence and the arrangements for the child to spend time with the respondent father and grandmother. The Court was also required to consider the provision of information regarding the obligations and consequences of contravening the orders made, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation.

Benjamin J ordered that all previous orders concerning the child be vacated. The Court then ordered that the child live with the applicant mother. Further, the child was to spend time with the respondent grandmother and respondent father as agreed between the parties or as otherwise ordered by the Court. The Court also directed that particulars of the obligations created by these orders, the consequences of contravention, and information on assistance for compliance be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was to be incorporated into the orders.
