Murrell and Hendrickson (No 2)

In *Murrell and Hendrickson (No 2)*, Justice Dawe of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning the living arrangements and time spent with a child, H. The proceedings involved the mother and the father, with the Independent Children's Lawyer also participating. The dispute centred on the arrangements for H during an adjournment of further proceedings.

The court was required to determine the interim arrangements for H, specifically whether the existing orders for H to live with the mother and spend time with the father should continue or be suspended during the adjournment period. The court also had to consider the filing and service of affidavit material by the father and the question of costs for both the mother and the Independent Children's Lawyer.

Justice Dawe ordered that during the period of the adjournment, the orders for H to spend time with the father were suspended. The order for H to live with the mother was continued. Further consideration of the mother's application was adjourned to a later date, with directions given for the filing and service of affidavit material by the father. The question of costs for the mother and the Independent Children's Lawyer was reserved to the next court date.
