Reiner & Reiner (No. 2)

In *Reiner & Reiner (No. 2)*, the father sought an order permitting a four-year-old child to travel overseas for a holiday, which the mother opposed. The proceedings also involved the father's request for a second family report.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the father's application for the child to travel overseas and whether to order a second family report.

Dessau J considered the existing Family Report and the child's readiness for school. The court ordered that the Independent Children's Lawyer request the Family Report writer to address the issue of the child's school readiness in his report. The parties were to share the expenses for this addition to the report, with a request for Victoria Legal Aid to cover the wife's share. The husband's application and the wife's response concerning the overseas travel were otherwise dismissed. The court also fixed costs for the wife and the Independent Children's Lawyer and ordered that a transcript of the reasons for judgment be retained on the court file.
