Chapman and Chapman

In the matter of *Chapman and Chapman*, heard by Judge Burchardt, the father sought to vary an existing parenting order. The specific nature of the dispute concerned the father's application to alter the existing arrangements for the children.

The central legal issue before the court was whether the father had demonstrated a sufficient change in circumstances since the making of the last parenting order to warrant a variation of that order. This required the court to assess the evidence presented by the father against the threshold for varying existing parenting arrangements.

Judge Burchardt dismissed the father's application. The reasons for this dismissal are not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the court was not satisfied that the threshold for varying the existing parenting order had been met. The father's application filed on 14 April 2015 was therefore dismissed.
