Love and Shillington (No. 2)

The proceedings involved the Father, the Mother, and an Intervener, the Maternal Grandmother, concerning arrangements for the children. The dispute centred on the children spending time with their parents and each other, as well as counselling for one of the children. The matter was before Justice Jordan.

The court was required to determine a range of issues relating to the children's contact with their parents and siblings, including the duration and supervision of unsupervised time between the daughter and the Mother. Further issues included the facilitation of time between the three children, the Mother's attendance at counselling sessions for the daughter, and the sharing of costs for a contact centre. The court also considered the prohibition of publishing matters related to the proceedings and the listing of the matter for final hearing and further directions.

Justice Jordan made orders concerning the children's time with their parents and siblings, including specific dates and times for contact, and the locations for these arrangements. The court also ordered that the daughter attend fortnightly counselling sessions, with authority granted for the counsellor to provide information to the Independent Children’s Lawyer. Injunctions were issued restraining the Mother from attending certain locations where the children would be. The court also prohibited the Father, Mother, and Maternal Grandmother from publishing matters related to the proceedings to any media outlet, pursuant to section 121 of the *Family Law Act*. The matter was listed for a final hearing and further directions.
