FERREIRO & ZANGARI

In *Ferreiro & Zangari*, the mother unilaterally relocated with the children from Sydney to Town A, prompting an application by the father concerning interim parenting arrangements. The dispute before the court concerned the practicality of the mother and children returning to Sydney.

The central legal issue before the court was whether interim orders should be made for the children to return to Sydney, given the mother's relocation. This involved assessing the best interests of the children in the context of a unilateral relocation and the practicalities of reversing such a move.

Her Honour, Obradovic J, considered the principles governing interim parenting orders, particularly in relocation cases. The court determined that the children's best interests favoured their return to Sydney on an interim basis, finding it practical to facilitate this move. The reasoning likely involved an assessment of the disruption caused by the relocation and the need to maintain the children's existing relationships and stability pending a final determination.

The court made orders for the children to return to Sydney.
