Perrett and Perrett

In the matter of *Perrett and Perrett*, Judge Mead of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the interim living arrangements for two children, X and Y. The dispute involved the parents' arrangements for the children, with specific conditions imposed on the mother and maternal grandmother regarding supervision and handover procedures.

The court was required to determine the interim parenting orders for the children, including the specific times each parent would have care, and to address conditions surrounding these arrangements. Further issues to be determined included the father's access to the former matrimonial home, the mother's ability to share medical reports with her treating practitioners, and the timing for filing amended applications regarding property settlement and spousal maintenance.

The court ordered that pending trial, the children would live with their mother on Wednesdays and Fridays from the conclusion of school until the following Thursday morning, and until Saturday noon, with these times to be supervised by the maternal grandmother. This supervision was contingent on the grandmother providing an affidavit confirming her understanding of the supervisor's obligations and acknowledging a prior court order. The father was to have the children at all other times. The court also granted an injunction restraining the father from attending the former matrimonial home and made specific directions regarding school-day handovers and other handover arrangements. The mother was granted liberty to provide certain reports and affidavits to her medical practitioners, and the applicant was directed to file an amended application concerning property settlement and spousal maintenance. Directions regarding trial listing were adjourned.
