Mazzotti and Aldridge

In *Mazzotti and Aldridge*, heard in the District Court, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for a child. The father sought orders for unsupervised time with the child, and the mother was ordered to pay the father's costs of the application.

The court was required to determine the appropriate schedule for unsupervised time between the father and the child, and to make orders regarding the costs of the application. The court also needed to consider the Family Consultant's recommendations for future proceedings.

The court ordered that the father would spend compensatory unsupervised time with the child on Tuesdays and Thursdays for three hours each, for a period of three weeks, commencing in early October 2007. Further, commencing in late October 2007, the father would spend three hours unsupervised time with the child each Wednesday. The arrangements for the child's transfer to and from the father's care were to be managed by the mother. The mother was ordered to pay the father's costs, with payment postponed until the division of property. The matter was listed for further hearing in late November 2007, unless the Family Consultant provided an alternative recommendation, and the application concerning contravention was removed from the list.
