Godfrey and Godfrey

In *Godfrey and Godfrey*, the Honourable Justice Jordan considered a dispute between a mother and father concerning the living arrangements for their three children. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the ultimate orders made, is not detailed in the provided text.

The court was required to determine the primary issue of where the children should live. Implicitly, the court also considered the extent of the mother's liberty to communicate with the children and the appropriate procedural steps to conclude the proceedings, including the discharge of the Independent Children's Lawyer and the dismissal of outstanding applications. The court also had to consider the provision of information regarding the obligations and consequences of the orders made, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation.

Justice Jordan ordered that the children live with the Father. The Mother was granted liberty to write directly to the children. All outstanding applications before the Court were dismissed, and the Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged. The court also directed that particulars of the obligations and consequences of the orders, along with information on compliance assistance, be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was incorporated into the orders. Furthermore, it was directed that any future proceedings instituted by the Mother should ordinarily be heard and determined in the Family Court of Australia.
