Theodore and Theodore (No. 2)

In *Theodore and Theodore (No. 2)*, Foster J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application for interim parenting orders and a subsequent costs application. The dispute concerned the arrangements for the children of the marriage.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband should be ordered to pay the wife's costs of and incidental to the further application for interim parenting orders and the costs application itself.

Foster J ordered that the husband pay the wife's costs. The court determined that the husband should bear these costs, with the quantum to be agreed between the parties within one month or, failing agreement, to be assessed.
