Debney and Hansen

In the matter of *Debney and Hansen*, heard by Judge Neville, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child, X, born in 2005. The specific details of the dispute leading to the court's intervention are not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the orders indicate a context of ongoing parenting disagreements requiring judicial resolution.

The court was required to determine appropriate orders regarding the child's welfare, specifically addressing international travel, security measures, and mechanisms for future dispute resolution between the parents. A key issue was the need to establish clear protocols for overseas travel by the child and to ensure the child's name was removed from any watch lists that might impede such travel, while also fostering a more cooperative approach to parenting matters.

Judge Neville ordered that a minimum of six weeks' notice must be provided by either party intending to take the child overseas. Furthermore, the child's name was to be removed from the AFP Airport Watch List. To address future parenting disputes, the parties were directed to engage in mediation or alternative dispute resolution, such as counselling. Finally, the court imposed a significant restriction, stipulating that no further applications could be filed by either party without first obtaining the leave of the Court, indicating a desire to bring finality to the proceedings.
