FAMILY COURT OF AUSTRALIA

GERBER & BECK

[2020] FamCA 210

FAMILY LAW – INTERNATIONAL RELOCATION – both parents born in a Country A, the mother having lived in Australia for over 20 years and the father for over 10 – two children, both born in Australia, raised bilingual and observing two cultures.

FAMILY LAW – INTERNATIONAL RELOCATION – Mother’s reasons for relocation application – her alleged failing mental health and her desire to be near her family in Country A.

FAMILY LAW – EXPERT EVIDENCE – family consultant recommending against relocation now in view of youngest child’s age and the risk of damage to that child’s bond with her father if relocation order were made – other psychologist’s conclusions unsupported by a discernible path of reasoning and therefore defective in accordance with Dasreef Pty Ltd v Hawchar and Makita (Australia) Pty Ltd v Sprowles – application refused.

Grounds of appeal

[14] The appellant contends that the primary judge erred in finding that the respondent had discharged the onus of establishing the matters required under the relevant provision.

[15] It was submitted that his Honour failed to give adequate weight to the evidence of the second witness, and that the findings of fact were not reasonably open on the material before the Court.

[16] The respondent, for its part, submits that no error is disclosed, and that the conclusions reached were well within the range of outcomes available to the primary judge.

Consideration

[17] It is convenient to deal first with the question of construction, as the resolution of that issue informs the remaining grounds advanced by the appellant.

[18] For the reasons that follow, we are of the view that the appeal should be allowed in part and the matter remitted for further determination.

AGLC: Gerber & Beck [2020] FamCA 210
Case: [2020] FamCA 210
Decision Date: 8 April 2020

CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Gerber & Beck*, the Honourable Justice Wilson of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the mother for permission to relocate with the parties' two children, both born in Australia, to Country A. The mother, who had resided in Australia for over 20 years, cited alleged failing mental health and a desire to be near her family in Country A as reasons for the proposed move. The father, who had lived in Australia for over 10 years, opposed the relocation.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to grant the mother's application to relocate the children internationally. This required the court to assess the best interests of the children, considering all relevant factors, including the impact of relocation on their relationship with each parent and their cultural upbringing.

Justice Wilson's reasoning was significantly influenced by the expert evidence presented. A family consultant recommended against relocation at that time, highlighting the youngest child's age and the potential risk of damage to her bond with her father. The court also considered the evidence of another psychologist, finding their conclusions to be unsupported by a discernible path of reasoning, and therefore defective in accordance with the principles established in *Dasreef Pty Ltd v Hawchar* and *Makita (Australia) Pty Ltd v Sprowles*. Consequently, the mother's application to relocate with the children was refused.
