WYATT & EXELMANS

In the matter of *Wyatt & Exlemans*, heard before Judge Kemp, the applicant sought parenting orders concerning a child born in 2010. The respondent was also a party to the proceedings.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the parenting orders sought by the applicant. This required the Court to consider the best interests of the child in determining the appropriate orders.

Judge Kemp dismissed the applicant's application for parenting orders. The Court also discharged the appointment of the Independent Children's Lawyer, with a provision for costs applications to be made within 28 days. If no costs application is filed, the matter will be removed from the active pending cases list.
