Gershon and Gershon

In the matter of *Gershon and Gershon*, Rees J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia made orders by consent concerning the children X and Y. The dispute involved the removal of the children from the Airport Family Watchlist and provisions governing the mother's future overseas travel with the children, as well as specific travel arrangements for the father and child Y to Israel.

The court was required to determine the terms of orders that would facilitate the children's removal from the Airport Family Watchlist, establish conditions for the mother's international travel with the children, and set out specific arrangements for the father's travel with child Y to Israel, including return dates and passport management. The court also needed to incorporate provisions regarding the consequences of contravening these orders, as mandated by the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

The orders made by consent reflected an agreement between the parties. The children were to be removed from the Airport Family Watchlist. The mother's future overseas travel with the children was permitted during school holidays, subject to providing the father with at least 21 days' notice, detailed travel particulars, and a restriction against travelling to countries not signatories to the Hague Convention. Specific orders were made for the father's travel with child Y to Israel, including dates of departure and return, and the exchange of passports. The court also included a Fact Sheet detailing the obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance available, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
