Zarins and Mylne (No. 5)

In *Zarins and Mylne (No. 5)*, Berman J of the Family Court of Australia considered an application concerning the living arrangements and time spent with a child, B, born in 2007. The proceedings involved the father and the mother, with the court making orders that varied previous arrangements.

The central legal issue before the court was to determine the primary residence of the child and to establish a schedule for the child to spend time with the non-resident parent. This involved assessing the best interests of the child in light of the circumstances presented.

Berman J ordered that the child, B, live with the father. The court then detailed a specific schedule for the child to spend time with the mother, commencing on 25 December 2013 and extending through various dates and alternating weekends into February 2014, with specific times for commencement and conclusion of these periods. Certain previous orders were discharged, while others were continued. The matter was adjourned for further consideration on 5 February 2014.
