Darcy and Cameroon (No 8)

In the matter of *Darcy and Cameroon (No 8)*, Strickland J considered an application to vary existing orders concerning a child. The application was brought by the mother, who sought to alter specific provisions of orders previously made by Burr J on 16 July 2009.

The court was required to determine whether to vary the existing orders regarding communication of concerns about the child, the child's living arrangements during school holidays, and the location and method of child handovers. Additionally, the court had to consider the mother's application filed on 11 June 2010 and whether it should be dismissed.

Strickland J varied paragraph 3 of the original orders to include a requirement for the mother to convey her concerns to the father or his solicitor before doing so. The court also made specific orders for the child to live with the father and then the mother during the forthcoming school holidays, stipulating precise times and locations for handovers, including the Adelaide Police Station and the child's school. The mother's application was dismissed. The court also ordered that a Fact Sheet detailing the obligations and consequences of contravening the orders be attached, pursuant to sections 62B and 65DA(2) of the *Family Law Act 1975*.
