Waldron and Warbeck

In the matter of *Waldron and Warbeck*, heard before Judge Brown, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for the children. The specific nature of the dispute, beyond the need for parenting orders, is not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was the need to obtain further information to assist in determining appropriate parenting orders. Specifically, the court was required to consider whether a forensic psychiatric assessment of the father was necessary and, if so, how such an assessment should be arranged and funded.

Judge Brown ordered that the father undergo a forensic psychiatric assessment by a psychiatrist to be agreed upon by the parties. In the event of disagreement, the independent children's lawyer was to direct the choice of psychiatrist. The cost of this assessment was to be borne by the father. The court adjourned further consideration of the matter for directions to a specified date and time.
