Collu and Rinaldo (No 2)

In *Collu and Rinaldo (No 2)*, Coleman J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning the future location of a child. The dispute arose between the mother and father regarding the arrangements for the child's return to the United Arab Emirates with the mother and a subsequent collection by the father.

The central legal issue before the court was to determine the specific arrangements for the child's handover to the mother for international travel and the subsequent handover to the father upon their return to Australia. This involved considering the practicalities and timing of international travel and the welfare of the child in such transitions.

Coleman J ordered that the child be made available to the mother at Café Sydney, Sydney International Airport, three hours prior to the scheduled departure of their flight to the United Arab Emirates on Sunday, 6 December 2009. Furthermore, the court ordered that the father was to collect the child from the mother at Dubai International Airport on 6 February 2010.
