Truman and Truman (No. 3)

In the matter of *Truman and Truman (No. 3)*, Judicial Registrar Loughnan considered an application concerning the welfare of two children, M and S. The dispute involved the father seeking to restrain the mother from allowing a Mr Z to have contact with the children when they were in her care.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether to grant an interim order restraining the mother from permitting Mr Z to come into contact with the children. The Court also considered applications for leave to issue subpoenas to various government departments and professionals involved with the wife, and for the production of records from apprehended domestic violence proceedings concerning the wife and Mr Z.

Judicial Registrar Loughnan made an order, by consent, restraining the wife from causing or permitting Mr Z to come into contact with the children during periods when the children were with her, pending further order. Leave was also granted by consent for the husband to issue subpoenas to the Department of Community Services, V Hospital, the New South Wales Police, and the wife's psychologist. The Court further requested the production of records from apprehended domestic violence proceedings involving the wife and Mr Z. The return date of the proceedings was vacated, and leave was granted for the parties to restore the matter before the Judicial Registrar or to approach Justice Rose's associate regarding the further carriage of the proceedings.
