Sachar & Kalita (No 2)

In the matter of *Sachar & Kalita (No 2)*, heard by Judge W J Neville, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for four children. The applicant father, Mr Sachar, and the respondent mother, Ms Kalita, were the parties involved.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders regarding parental responsibility, the children's living arrangements, and the father's contact with the children and mother. Additionally, the court considered the mother's ability to obtain passports for the children and to travel internationally with them. The court also addressed the role of the Independent Children's Lawyer.

Judge Neville ordered that all previous orders be discharged. The respondent mother was granted sole parental responsibility for the children and the children were to live with her. An injunction was issued under section 68B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) restraining the applicant father from contacting, attempting to contact, locating, or approaching the mother or any of the children. Furthermore, pursuant to section 11 of the *Australia Passports Act 2005* (Cth), the mother was expressly authorised to obtain passports for the children without the father's consent and to travel internationally with them. The Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged.
