Keightley and Keightley (No 2)

In the matter of *Keightley and Keightley (No 2)*, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications and contravention proceedings between the father and the mother concerning their children, A and P. The proceedings involved disputes over the children's schooling, holiday arrangements, and alleged contraventions of previous court orders.

The court was required to determine several issues, including the appropriate schooling for child A in 2011, arrangements for child P's school holidays, and the location and conduct of handovers between the parents. Additionally, the court addressed contravention applications made by both parties and the need for further expert assessment regarding the children's care, welfare, and development.

Dawe J made various orders to manage the proceedings and address the immediate concerns. The court ordered that child A would attend D High School and child P would continue at F Primary School. Handovers, when not at school, were to occur inside the S Police Station, provided both parents were not present simultaneously. Crucially, the court ordered a Family Consultant, Dr L, to prepare a report on matters relevant to the children's care, welfare, and development, including specific considerations regarding their living arrangements and time spent with each parent. The mother's Application in a Case filed on 12 October 2010 was dismissed.
