Rilke and Rilke (No 2)

In *Rilke and Rilke (No 2)*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered applications made by the husband concerning parenting orders and contravention. The dispute involved the husband's alleged contravention of existing orders and his subsequent applications seeking to vary those orders, alongside the wife's response.

The court was required to determine whether the husband had contravened the parenting orders made on 11 December 2009. Additionally, the court had to consider the husband's applications filed on 5 December 2011, which sought to vary the existing orders, and the wife's response filed on 9 December 2011. A further issue was the appropriate injunctive relief to prevent the husband from initiating proceedings in Country C that would undermine the Australian court's parenting orders.

Cronin J dismissed the husband's contravention application, finding no breach of the existing orders. However, the court varied paragraphs 6 and 7 of the 11 December 2009 orders to facilitate the transfer of land by the husband to the wife, contingent upon the wife returning the child's passport. The court also granted an injunction restraining the husband from commencing proceedings in Country C seeking parenting orders inconsistent with the Family Court's orders. The remaining applications by the husband and the wife's response were also dismissed. The court further ordered that a Fact Sheet detailing the obligations, consequences of contravention, and available assistance be attached to the orders, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation.
