Cluny and Cluny

In the matter of *Cluny and Cluny*, Brown J of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the living arrangements and time spent with the children O, M, and L. The dispute involved the parents' arrangements for their three children, born in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

The court was required to determine the primary residence of the children and the terms under which the father would spend time with them. Additionally, the court addressed the need for therapeutic interventions for the children and parents, and the practical arrangements for supervised contact.

Brown J ordered that the children live with the mother until further order. The father was granted supervised time with the children on alternate Saturdays, from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm, to be supervised by H Pty. Ltd. at a location determined by the supervisor. The father was also ordered to pay the costs of this supervised time in advance. By consent, the court ordered that O attend counselling with the Australian Childhood Foundation and that the mother attend family therapy. Further orders included the preparation of a Family Report, a Trial Notice Listing, and the provision of a Family Law Courts Fact Sheet to the parties detailing their obligations and the consequences of contravention. The court also noted that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel and solicitors.
