El Kazemde and Hanif

The case of *El Kazemde and Hanif* concerned orders made by Austin J in the Family Court of Australia regarding three children. The dispute involved the parental responsibility and living arrangements for the children, as well as significant restrictions placed upon the father.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders concerning the children's residence, parental responsibility, and communication with the father. Additionally, the court considered the necessity of restraining orders against the father, including prohibitions on contact with the children and proximity to their residences and schools, as well as the need for a suppression order to protect the mother's and children's location.

Austin J ordered that the mother have sole parental responsibility for the children and that they live with her. Crucially, the court made orders restraining the father from causing or permitting the children to spend any time or communicate with him, and also restrained him from approaching within 100 metres of the mother's residence or any school attended by the children. A suppression order was made to prevent the publication of information identifying the mother's and children's residence until the youngest child reached majority. The father was also restrained from obtaining information from the court file that could disclose their location. All outstanding applications were dismissed.
