HARVARD & MOORE

The parties in this matter were the applicant and the respondent, who were in dispute regarding the relocation of their children, B and C. The decision was made by Johns J in the Family Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to vary an existing order to permit the applicant and the children to relocate to a property at D Street, E Town. This relocation was contingent on specific conditions being met concerning the children's accommodation.

Johns J ordered that the applicant could relocate with the children to the property at D Street, E Town, provided that proof was supplied demonstrating that the children would have separate bedrooms and beds at that location. This proof was to consist of plans of the proposed bedrooms and a photograph of the completed bedrooms and beds, to be sent to the respondent's solicitor. The court also stipulated that changeovers for time spent with the respondent would continue at K Town unless otherwise agreed, and pending the relocation, the children were to remain primarily resident in F Town, spending no more than two nights per week in E Town. All other outstanding applications were dismissed.
