Vyasa and Gerard

In the matter of *Vyasa and Gerard*, Rees J of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the living arrangements and contact arrangements for two children, B and C. The dispute concerned the children's residence and the nature and supervision of the father's time with them.

The court was required to determine the primary residence of the children and the terms upon which the father would have contact with them. This included specifying the location, duration, and supervision arrangements for the father's time with the children, as well as vacating previous orders for Facetime contact. The court also had to consider the allocation of costs associated with the supervision of contact.

Rees J ordered that the children live with the mother and spend supervised time with the father. This supervised time was to occur at specific play centres or other agreed venues, with supervision provided by designated centres or other agreed organisations. The father was ordered to meet the costs of this supervision. The orders also detailed the process for the handover of the children for contact and specified the duration of the supervised time each Sunday. Pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), the orders included a fact sheet outlining the obligations, consequences of contravention, and sources of assistance.
