Toby and Toby and Anor

The parties involved in this matter were the father and the mother, referred to as Toby and Toby and Anor. The dispute concerned arrangements for the children, and the decision was made by Burr J in the Family Court of Australia.

The court was required to determine the appropriate interim arrangements for the children, specifically regarding communication between the father and the children, and the potential for supervised contact. The court also considered the necessary steps to facilitate supervised contact if deemed appropriate.

Burr J ordered an adjournment of the matter for further consideration. During the adjournment, the father was granted limited telephone communication with the children on specified days each week. Furthermore, the court directed both parties to take all necessary steps to enrol for and utilise the services of the D Children’s Contact Service for supervised time between the father and the children. The court also indicated that if supervised time was approved, Mr S would be approved as the supervisor.
