Hartford and Ansilda

In the matter of *Hartford and Ansilda*, Brown J of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the living arrangements and time spent with a child. The dispute involved the parents' arrangements for their child, born in December 2006.

The court was required to determine the primary residence of the child and the specific arrangements for the father to spend time with the child. Additionally, the court addressed the location of changeovers between parents and the need for a Family Report.

Brown J ordered that the child live with the mother until further order. The father was granted specific, phased-in time with the child on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with changeovers to occur at the mother's residence unless otherwise agreed. Pursuant to section 62G(2) of the *Family Law Act 1975*, a Family Report was to be prepared and released by a specified date. The matter was also listed for a trial notice hearing. The court further ordered that the particulars of the obligations and consequences of contravening these orders, along with information on support services, be provided to the parties in a fact sheet annexed to the orders, as permitted by sections 62B and 65DA(2) of the *Family Law Act 1975*. Finally, the court determined that the matter reasonably required the attendance of counsel, including senior counsel, pursuant to Rule 19.50 of the *Family Law Rules 2004*.
