Harvey and Vamora

In the matter of *Harvey and Vamora*, heard by Judge Scarlett, the dispute concerned parenting orders for the child X. The Applicant Mother sought orders for sole parental responsibility, no contact between the child and the Respondent Father, and permission for the child to travel internationally.

The court was required to determine whether to discharge all earlier parenting orders and make new orders regarding the child's primary care, contact arrangements, and international travel. The court also considered whether to impose restrictions on the Respondent Father's ability to file future applications and the role of the Independent Children's Lawyer.

Judge Scarlett ordered the discharge of all previous parenting orders. The Applicant Mother was granted sole parental responsibility for the child X, with no contact permitted between the child and the Respondent Father. The Respondent Father was restrained from filing any future applications without leave of the court, which would require a psychiatric report detailing his current mental health. The Applicant Mother was permitted to take the child out of Australia and to apply for an Australian passport for the child, in accordance with the *Family Law Act 1975* and the *Australian Passports Act 2005*. The Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged.
