Foley and Foley

In the matter of *Foley and Foley*, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between two parents concerning the welfare of their children. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the immediate orders made, is not detailed in the provided text, but it clearly involved significant disagreement regarding the children's schooling.

The primary legal issue before the court was the immediate educational arrangements for the children, K and J. The court was required to determine whether to continue existing interim orders and, crucially, to make a definitive order regarding the children's enrolment and attendance at a specific primary school.

Dawe J's reasoning focused on ensuring the children's consistent education, as evidenced by the order for immediate enrolment and attendance at W Primary School. The court continued the interim orders made on 11 October 2010, indicating a desire to maintain stability for the children while further proceedings were contemplated. The referral of the final orders application to the Docket Registrar signals that the court viewed the current orders as a temporary measure pending a more comprehensive resolution of the parenting dispute.
