CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Webster and Webster (No 3)*, Austin J of the Family Court of Australia considered orders concerning two children, B and C. The dispute involved the parental responsibility and living arrangements for the children, as well as their time with each parent and international travel.

The court was required to determine the future parental responsibility and living arrangements for the children, the extent of time the children would spend with the father, and the conditions under which the mother could take the children overseas. Additionally, the court addressed the removal of the children from an Airport Watch List and imposed restrictions on the father regarding international travel with the children.

Austin J ordered that all former orders regarding the children be discharged. The mother was granted sole parental responsibility, and the children were to live with her. The father was granted specific periods of time with the children during school holidays, with detailed provisions for collection, return, and communication. The court also ordered the surrender of passports held by the Registrar to the mother and permitted her to take the children outside of Australia. Crucially, the father was restrained from removing the children from Australia or being with them outside of Australia. Both parents were restrained from denigrating each other in the presence of the children.
