PADLEY & PADLEY (No.2)

In proceedings before Judge Henderson, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child, X. The orders made by the court indicate a significant shift in the child's living arrangements and parental responsibility, with the mother being granted sole responsibility and the child to live with her.

The court was required to determine the appropriate interim parenting orders, including whether to suspend existing orders for the father to spend time with the child, whether the mother should have sole parental responsibility, and where the child should live. The court also considered the extent to which the father's future time with the child should be regulated.

Applying principles under the *Family Law Act 1975*, specifically section 65DA(2), the court made interim orders suspending prior parenting orders for the father's time with the child. The mother was granted sole parental responsibility, and the child was ordered to live with her. Any future time the father spends with the child is to be at the mother's sole discretion. The court also ordered that the proceedings be transferred to the Family Court of Australia at Sydney for further directions.
