Newett and Newett & Anor (No 4)

In the matter of *Newett and Newett & Anor (No 4)*, Baumann J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered applications concerning the parenting arrangements for three children. The dispute involved variations to existing orders regarding the children's time with their mother.

The primary legal issue before the Court was to determine appropriate interim parenting orders for the children, specifically concerning the time they would spend with their mother. The Court also considered applications for contravention and a request for specific discovery, which were adjourned.

Baumann J varied the previous orders to establish a new schedule for the children's time with their mother. This variation provided for the children to spend time with their mother each alternate weekend, commencing on Saturday, 10 October 2020, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on both Saturday and Sunday. The Court's decision reflects an adjustment to the existing parenting arrangements, with further applications to be heard at a later date.
