Loddon and Loddon

In the matter of *Loddon and Loddon*, Guest J of the Family Court of Australia considered a dispute concerning the future living and spending time arrangements for two children, R and J. The specific details of the dispute, including the nature of the disagreement between the parties (identified as Husband and Wife), are not elaborated upon in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was to determine the best interests of the children, R and J, in relation to their future living arrangements. This required the court to consider various factors relevant to the children's welfare, including the potential impact of any changes to their current living situation, their relationship with their father, Mr M, and any other matters deemed relevant under sections 60B or 60CC of the relevant legislation.

Guest J ordered that the parties attend upon a Mr P for an updated report to address the future living and spending time arrangements for the children. This report was specifically directed to consider the likely effect on each child of a change to their living arrangements, their relationship with Mr M, and any other matters relevant under sections 60B or 60CC. The costs of this report were to be borne by the Husband from the farm account. The court also set a timetable for the filing of further affidavit material and outline of case documents by both parties in preparation for a trial listed for May 2008, and adjourned all applications for mention before Registrar Mestrovic.
