Meese and Meese (No. 2)

In *Meese and Meese (No. 2)*, Gill J of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the living arrangements and contact arrangements for three children, X, Y, and Z, and also made orders restraining the father's conduct towards the mother and two of the children. The proceedings concerned the welfare of the children and the conduct of the parents.

The court was required to determine the primary residence of the children, the specific contact arrangements between the father and one of the children, Z, and to make orders regarding the father's conduct towards the mother and the other two children, X and Y. The court also considered the father's engagement with his treating psychologist.

Gill J ordered that the children X, Y, and Z live with their mother. Specific, detailed contact arrangements were ordered for Z to spend time with his father, including during school terms and school holidays, and for Z to communicate with his father via various electronic means if Z expressed a wish to do so. The father was restrained, without admissions, from approaching, contacting, assaulting, threatening, stalking, harassing, intimidating, or damaging property belonging to or in the possession of the mother, X, or Y. Exceptions to this restraint were permitted where written consent was obtained from the mother. Further, the father was restrained from attending at the mother's workplace, any place where the mother or children reside, or the mother's lawyer's offices, except with the mother's written consent. The father was granted leave to provide a Family Report to his treating psychologist and ordered to continue attending upon that psychologist.
