McLORY and McLORY (No 2)

This matter concerned orders made by Murphy J in the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia regarding the time a child born in February 2008 would spend with her parents. The proceedings involved the parties, McLory and McLory, and the court was tasked with determining the specific arrangements for the child's time with each parent.

The court was required to establish a detailed schedule for the child's time with her father, including specific dates and times for alternate weeks, and to make provision for special occasions such as the mother's birthday and Christmas. The court also needed to ensure that the parties were informed of the consequences of contravening these orders and the available support services.

Murphy J ordered that a transcript of certain proceedings be provided to the parties at no cost. The court then made detailed orders for the child to spend time with her father on alternate weekends and specific weekdays, with variations for the mother's birthday and Christmas Day. These orders were made until further order and included provisions for changeovers. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation, the court ordered that particulars of the obligations, potential consequences of contravention, and details of assistance services be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was to be incorporated into the orders.
