NIELSEN & SPRINGER

In the matter of *Nielsen & Springer*, Berman J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application for contravention. The proceedings concerned the mother's alleged contravention of court orders.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the mother had contravened the parenting orders previously made by the Court. This required an assessment of the evidence presented regarding her conduct in relation to those orders.

Berman J found that the mother had contravened the parenting orders. The Court determined that the mother's actions constituted a contravention, and accordingly, the matter was listed for sentencing. The sentencing of the mother was scheduled for 30 July 2020 at 3pm.
