CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Windsor and Kava (No 2)*, Hannam J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application concerning the time the parties' two children, X and Y, would spend with their mother in Singapore. The dispute centred on the arrangements for the children's travel to and from Singapore to facilitate this time with their mother.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the specific arrangements for the children's travel, including the mode of transport and the responsibilities of each parent in facilitating these arrangements. This involved considering the children's welfare in the context of international travel and the practicalities of their departure and arrival.

Hannam J ordered that the children spend time with their mother in Singapore from 28 December 2015 to 18 January 2016. To facilitate this, the court permitted the children to travel as unaccompanied minors on Singapore Airlines, specifying the exact flight details for their departure from Sydney and arrival in Singapore, and their return journey. The father was directed to take the children to Sydney Airport for their departure and to send SMS notifications to the mother upon check-in and collection. Similarly, the mother was ordered to send SMS notifications to the father upon collecting the children in Singapore and upon their check-in for their return flight. The court noted that the travel itinerary was annexed to the mother's affidavit.
