Wallisham and Wallisham (No 2)

In *Wallisham and Wallisham (No 2)*, Barry J of the Family Court of Australia considered interim parenting orders concerning the children D and R. The mother had filed an Application in a Case seeking these orders.

The central legal issue before the court was whether to apply the principles established in *Rice v Asplund* in the context of the current proceedings, particularly in light of expert reports and recommendations that had been provided. The court was required to determine the appropriate interim arrangements for the children's time with their mother.

Barry J made interim orders that included supervised time for the mother with both children, with specific conditions regarding frequency and location for the child R. The mother was also restricted from initiating communication with the children, and the father was ordered to provide quarterly summaries of the children's development. The proceedings were adjourned for review by a Registrar.
