INGLE & STINSON

In the matter of *Ingle & Stinson*, heard by Judge Brown, the dispute concerned an application by the mother for permission to travel outside of Australia with the parties' two children, X and Y, born in 2002 and 2005 respectively. The proposed travel was scheduled to occur between 13 September 2014 and 11 October 2014, with the destination being a country not specified in the provided text.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the mother leave to travel internationally with the children. This involved considering the welfare of the children and the rights of the father to maintain contact and be informed about their whereabouts and well-being during the proposed absence from Australia.

Judge Brown reasoned that permission for the travel could be granted, but subject to stringent conditions designed to safeguard the children's welfare and facilitate ongoing communication with the father. These conditions included the mother obtaining comprehensive travel insurance for herself and the children, providing a copy of the policy to the father in advance, and furnishing a detailed itinerary with contact information and flight particulars. Furthermore, the mother was required to ensure regular communication between the children and the father via Skype at least twice weekly during the period of travel. The court ordered that the mother and children be permitted to travel as specified, subject to these conditions, and that all other extant applications be dismissed.
