SOULOS & SORBO

In the matter of *Soulos & Sorbo*, heard by Hannam J, the dispute concerned parental responsibility and the proposed relocation of a child. The mother sought sole parental responsibility for the child, that the child live with her, and that she be permitted to relocate with the child to Country N. The father's position on these matters is not detailed in the provided text, but the orders indicate a contested proceeding.

The court was required to determine whether to grant the mother sole parental responsibility for the child, whether the child should live with the mother, and crucially, whether to permit the mother to relocate with the child to Country N. The orders also addressed the practical steps necessary to facilitate this relocation, including the procurement of passports and the removal of the child's name from the Family Law Watch list.

Hannam J ordered that the mother have sole parental responsibility for the child and that the child live with the mother. The court further ordered that the mother be allowed to relocate to Country N. To give effect to these orders, the court directed the Australian Federal Police to remove the child's name from the Family Law Watch list. Additionally, the father was ordered to cooperate in procuring Australian and Country N passports for the child within 14 days. In the event of the father's failure to comply, the Registrar of the Family Court of Australia, Parramatta Registry, was empowered to sign all necessary documents to give effect to the passport order.
