Hagan and Langdon

In the matter of Hagan and Langdon, heard by Judge Hartnett, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child born in 2013. The specific details of the dispute leading to the court's intervention are not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the outcome indicates a significant alteration to the existing parenting arrangements.

The court was required to determine the appropriate parenting orders for the child, specifically addressing issues of parental responsibility, the child's living arrangements, and the nature and extent of contact between the child and the father. The court also considered whether to impose injunctions and restraints on the father's contact with the mother and child, and whether to continue the appointment of an Independent Children's Lawyer.

Judge Hartnett ordered the discharge of all previous parenting orders. The mother was granted sole parental responsibility for the child, and the child was ordered to live with the mother. Contact between the child and the father was severely restricted, limited to four supervised visits per year at a designated contact centre, contingent on the centre's availability and agreement from the mother. Furthermore, pursuant to section 68 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), the father was restrained from contacting or approaching the mother or child by any means, except for limited telephone contact with the child at times proposed by the mother, and sending cards or gifts to a nominated postal address. The father was also prohibited from attending within 500 metres of the mother's residence or workplace, or any location attended by the child for education or extracurricular activities. The appointment of the Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged, and all other extant applications were dismissed.
