Tilbert and Wessels

In the matter of *Tilbert and Wessels*, Rees J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning parenting orders for a child, X. The dispute involved the father's time with the child and the mother's application to restrict the child's diet while in the father's care.

The court was required to determine the appropriate arrangements for the child's time with the father, specifically the frequency and duration of contact, and whether to grant the mother's request to impose dietary restrictions on the child during those periods. The court also had to consider the provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) regarding the particulars of obligations and consequences of contravention of parenting orders.

Rees J made orders for the child to spend time with the father on specified days and alternate weekends, including provisions for collection and return of the child. The application to restrict the child's food in the father's care was dismissed. The court further ordered that particulars of the obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance for compliance, as set out in an attached Fact Sheet, be included in the orders pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
