    FCMC13440/2018

    The court accepted the social welfare investigation reports which recommended maintaining the status quo because the two children had adapted to living with the father, their welfare (including expressed wishes) and current stability favoured continuation of father’s care pending trial; accordingly the father was granted interim care and control and the mother interim defined access as detailed, and no costs order was made.

    FCMC4289/2018

    On the evidence the mother was the primary and attachment carer, had stable local support and had chosen nearby kindergartens; because parents were in entrenched conflict and timely school registration was required, the court awarded interim custody to the mother and authorised her to register the children at her chosen kindergarten while maintaining the father's substantial overnight visitation to protect the childrens best interests.
