Leonard & Gregory (No 2)

In the matter of *Sutton v Leonard*, heard by Obradovic J, the applicants, Ms Sutton and Mr B Leonard, sought orders concerning the welfare of a child, X, born in 2010. The respondents were Mr Leonard and Ms Gregory. The proceedings concerned parenting arrangements for the child.

The court was required to determine the specific arrangements for the child X to spend time with the mother, Ms Sutton. This involved considering the discharge of previous orders and establishing new, defined periods of time the child would spend with the mother.

Obradovic J ordered that previous orders 9 and 10, made on 18 March 2021, be discharged. The court then made new orders regarding the child X's time with the mother. Specifically, the child is to spend time with the mother each Saturday from 10 am until 5 pm. Further, the child is to spend time with the mother from 3 pm on Christmas Eve until 3 pm on Christmas Day 2021. Finally, all other times the child spends with the mother are to be as agreed in writing between the paternal grandmother and the mother. The court also noted the prohibition under section 121 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) against publishing identifying details of family law proceedings.
