Hulls & Hulls

In the matter of *Hulls & Hulls*, heard by Obradovic J of the Family Court of Australia, the applicant father and respondent mother sought orders concerning their child. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the application for discharge of prior orders is not detailed, but the proceedings concerned the living arrangements and time spent with the child.

The primary legal issues before the court were to determine the future living arrangements for the child, C, born in 2005, and to establish a schedule for the child's time spent with each parent. This involved considering the child's wishes, as mandated by the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

Obradovic J discharged certain orders made on 3 December 2015. The court ordered that the child, C, shall live with the father. Furthermore, the child is to spend time with the mother in accordance with the child's expressed wishes. The court also noted the prohibition under section 121 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) against publishing identifying details of family law proceedings.
