Liston & Liston

In the matter of *Liston & Liston*, heard before Young J, the wife sought interim orders concerning the children of the marriage and alleged child support arrears. The dispute involved an application for an interim restraint on the husband leaving Australia and a prohibition on the removal of the children from the Commonwealth.

The court was required to determine whether to grant an interim order restraining the husband from leaving Australia and whether to restrain both parties from removing the children from the Commonwealth pending further orders. The court also considered the wife's application concerning alleged child support arrears.

Young J ordered that the husband be restrained from leaving the Commonwealth of Australia until the adjourned hearing date. Furthermore, both the husband and wife were restrained from removing the children from the Commonwealth. The court also requested that the Australian Federal Police place the names of the husband and the children on the Airport Watch List. The wife was ordered to serve the husband with the court orders and filed documents by a specified date, and to file an affidavit of service thereafter. The wife's costs of the day were reserved.
