On an interim mobility motion, the moving party sought permission to relocate with three children to Perth to live with her mother.
The court held that where custody and access remained genuinely in issue for trial, it should be reluctant to disrupt the existing parallel-parenting status quo.
Applying the best-interests framework from Gordon v. Goertz, the court found the proposed move would significantly disrupt the children's schooling, daycare, friendships, and community stability at a time of parental breakup.
The motion was denied, and no costs were ordered.
