CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Feeney and Feeney and Ors*, heard by Judge Harland, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child, X. The orders made on 22 September 2016 were being reviewed and potentially varied.
The court was required to determine the appropriate arrangements for X's time with the parties, specifically addressing the applicant's time with X, the time the first and second respondents would spend with X, and the need for the first and second respondents to attend drug and counselling services. The court also considered the transfer of the proceedings to another registry.
Judge Harland discharged previous orders and made new orders regarding the child's time with the applicant, specifying a weekly schedule and location for changeovers. The first and second respondents were also ordered to spend time with X as agreed with the third respondent, with a minimum frequency for the first respondent. Furthermore, the first and second respondents were directed to attend drug and counselling services within 28 days, with the specific provider to be recommended by the Independent Children’s Lawyer. Finally, the proceedings were transferred to the Melbourne Registry of the Family Court of Australia for listing with priority.
