Keightley and Keightley

In the matter of *Keightley and Keightley*, heard before Dawe J, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child, P. The mother sought leave to issue a subpoena to South Australia Police for records pertaining to the father and his current wife.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the mother's application for leave to issue the subpoena. The court also considered the future listing of the matter and the continuation of existing interim parenting orders.

Dawe J granted the mother's solicitors leave to issue a subpoena to South Australia Police within seven days, seeking records concerning the father and his current wife. This subpoena was to be made returnable before a Registrar. The court then adjourned the matter, with a preference for it to be heard by Justice Fowler on 10 May 2012, or alternatively by Justice Dawe on 5 June 2012, depending on listing availability. The father was directed to file and serve any affidavit he intended to rely upon by 7 May 2012. Crucially, the existing orders for the child P to spend alternate weekends and intervening Wednesday evenings with the mother were continued during the period of the adjournment.
