Reisner and Reisner (No. 2)

In *Reisner and Reisner (No. 2)*, Barry J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application by the Mother to discharge existing orders made on 18 March 2009, and an oral application to the same effect. The proceedings concerned parenting arrangements for the children of the marriage.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the existing orders of 18 March 2009 should be discharged. This required the Court to assess the evidence presented by the Mother in support of her application for discharge and to determine if the threshold for such a significant alteration of existing parenting orders had been met.

Barry J dismissed the Mother's applications. The reasons for this dismissal are not detailed in the provided text, but the Court's subsequent orders indicate a continuation of the proceedings towards a final trial. The Court directed that an updated family report be prepared by Ms B, a Family Consultant, and adjourned the matter for trial directions and review. The proceedings were ultimately listed for a four-day trial commencing on 20 October 2009.
