Pickford and Pickford

In the matter of *Pickford and Pickford*, heard by Judge McNab, the dispute concerned the enrolment of a child, born in 2004, into a specific school for Year 7 in 2017. The court was required to determine the primary issue of where the child should be enrolled for their secondary education.

The court's reasoning, as evidenced by the orders made, focused on ensuring the child's enrolment in School A. This was to be achieved by both the husband and wife taking all necessary steps, including signing documents, to facilitate the enrolment. The court also granted the wife leave to amend her initiating application, with the understanding that this amendment was without prejudice to any further applications she might make.

The final orders stipulated that the wife would bear the costs of the child's attendance at School A until financial and child support issues were definitively determined by the Court. The proceedings were scheduled for a final hearing on 26 July 2017, with specific provisions under sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* detailing the obligations and potential consequences of contravening these orders.
