The applicant mother brought a motion seeking an order to permit her to take the parties' two children to Australia for a six-month period.
The father opposed the motion.
The court considered the best interests of the children under the Children's Law Reform Act, noting that while the older child was nearly an adult, the younger child's mental health and academic situation made a six-month disruption potentially harmful.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the temporary relocation was not in the youngest child's best interests and that the children should not be separated.
