Darcy & Cameroon (No. 2)

This matter concerned an application by the mother seeking enforcement of existing orders regarding supervised visits with the child. The parties were experiencing a high level of conflict. The court was required to determine the appropriate arrangements for the mother to spend supervised time with the child, including the venue and the involvement of a third party for the child's delivery and collection.

The court's reasoning focused on establishing a practical and safe framework for supervised contact. It ordered the parties to enrol at the Campbelltown Children's Contact Service and attend separate interviews. The mother was to spend time with the child under supervision at the service, with the father being restrained from attending the contact centre or remaining within a two-kilometre radius during these visits. The father was directed to arrange for a third person, approved by the Independent Children's Lawyer, to deliver and collect the child.

The court further ordered the Independent Children's Lawyer to obtain a report from the Children's Contact Service after the sixth supervised visit and to address matters pursuant to previous orders. The proceedings were adjourned for further directions.
