Ember and Assadi

In the matter of *Ember and Assadi*, heard by Judge Hartnett, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for two children, [X] and [Y], born in 2008 and 2009 respectively. The proceedings involved an application by the mother (the Applicant) and the father (the Respondent) regarding the children's living arrangements and time spent with each parent.

The central legal issue before the court was to determine the final parenting orders for the children, considering existing court orders that had placed the children on the Airport Watch List and restrained both parents from removing them from the Commonwealth of Australia. The court was required to make a determination that best served the interests of the children.

Judge Hartnett ordered that the children live with the Applicant mother and spend time with the Respondent father as agreed between the parties. All previously extant applications were dismissed, and the matter was removed from the list of active cases. The court specifically noted the existing orders placing the children on the Airport Watch List and restraining their removal from Australia, underscoring the importance of these protective measures.
