Collu and Rinaldo

In a proceeding before Collier J, the court considered orders concerning a child born in December 2005, involving the mother and father. The dispute centred on the child's living arrangements and travel, as well as the disclosure of financial and travel-related documents by both parties.

The court was required to determine the interim living arrangements for the child, specifically the period the child would reside with the mother and the father respectively. Further issues included preventing the child's removal from Australia and the disclosure of various documents pertaining to the parties' travel, finances, and any potential employment offers abroad. The court also addressed the father's obligation to answer specific questions and the procedural steps for filing applications and responses.

Collier J made orders for the child to live with the mother between 5 April 2010 and 26 April 2010, with specific arrangements for handover at Sydney Airport. The child was to live with the father at all other times, pending further order. Crucially, neither party was permitted to remove the child from the Commonwealth of Australia, and the Australian Federal Police were authorised to place the child on the Airport Watch List. The court also mandated the exchange of financial statements, travel records, and documents relating to income and share sales, with specific provisions for the mother to produce documents concerning an employment offer in Qatar and visas for the child in Dubai. The father was ordered to answer specific questions and provide documents to the mother upon handover of the child. Costs of previous hearings were reserved to the trial judge.
