Keightley and Keightley (No 3)

In *Keightley and Keightley (No 3)*, Dawe J of the Family Court of Australia considered a contravention application brought by the father against the mother concerning their children. The application alleged breaches of parenting orders made in earlier proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the mother had contravened specific parenting orders as alleged by the father in Counts 4 and 5 of his application. This required the court to assess the evidence presented by both parties in relation to the alleged breaches.

Dawe J dismissed Count 4 of the father's contravention application. Furthermore, the father withdrew Count 5 of his application, which was consequently also dismissed by the court. The reasons for these dismissals are not detailed in the provided extract, but the outcome reflects a resolution of these specific allegations within the broader family law proceedings.
