The matter considered what should be regarded as the \u2018primary\u2019 and \u2018additional considerations\u2019 of the children are pursuant to s 60 CC (2) and (3) of the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (\u201cthe Act\u201d).\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5232a3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5232a3a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Background<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9773cb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9773cb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This case involved a unilateral relocation to the US sought by the father while on holiday with his two sons of almost 17 and 15 years of age. The two boys wished to reside with their father whilst their 12-year-old siblings continued to reside in Australia with their mother. The existing orders made in 2014 were for equal shared\u00a0parental responsibility and the three children were to live with the mother and father as agreed between the\u00a0parties or at the children\u2019s own election.<\/p><p>The family lived in Australia until January 2016 when the father took\u00a0both sons for a holiday to New York with the mother\u2019s consent. During the course of the holiday, the father expressed\u00a0to the mother his intentions of remaining in New York indefinitely with the two sons.<\/p><p>The father gave evidence\u00a0under oath that the boys expressed their wish to remain in New York with their father. The children claimed they\u00a0had an estranged relationship with their mother, therefore, did not wish to return. The mother was granted a\u00a0recovery order and the father\u2019s appeal was dismissed. The Court reinforced in relation to a\u00a0child\u2019s view that \u201ccontext is\u00a0critical\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46920c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"46920c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Central Issue in the Case<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9a7cfb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c9a7cfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The central issue in this matter was whether the children\u2019s views should be taken into consideration. In this case\u00a0\u201ccontext was considered to be critical\u201d. The Court ruled that the children be returned to their mother and that a\u00a0report was required that dealt with more than simply the boys\u2019 views.<\/p><p>The Court ruled the report was required to\u00a0assess the dynamics of the sibling relationships and their respective relationships with their parents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56ec7c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"56ec7c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Considerations<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0038d35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0038d35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ryan and Aldridge JJ in the majority held that the primary judge was satisfied it was in the best interests of the\u00a0two boys to return to Australia pending a determination about whether, in the long-term, they would continue to\u00a0reside in Australia or relocate to the United States.<\/p><p>If the father decided to return to Australia with the two boys,\u00a0they were to continue living with him, however, if he remained in New York, the boys would live with the mother\u00a0in Australia. As the boys had a strained relationship with their mother, the Orders provided that the mother and\u00a0boys could make arrangements for the boys to stay with nominated third parties without the father\u2019s approval.<\/p><p>His Honour mandated that a report which dealt with more than simply the boys\u2019 views was necessary as the\u00a0Court would not examine such factors as to the dynamic of the sibling relationship and also each sibling relationship with their parents. The report was ordered to take place in Australia where all family members were\u00a0able to participate.<\/p><p>His Honour expressed disdain in the father\u2019s breach of the orders and in doing so the father\u00a0demonstrated poor judgement as a parent and \u2018as a role model to the boys\u2019. For the Court to agree with the\u00a0father\u2019s behaviour would fail to acknowledge what might be considered appropriate parental behaviour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-094b9ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"094b9ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5a1d99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c5a1d99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Section 60CC(2) and (3) of the Act requires consideration of the following:<\/p><p>\u00b7 the boys\u2019 expressed views as against the damage currently done to the mother\u2019s relationship with both\u00a0sons;<\/p><p>\u00b7 the father and daughter relationship; and<\/p><p>\u00b7 the daughter\u2019s relationship with her brothers by the unilateral action of the father.<\/p><p>These factors need to be considered alongside the history and family dynamics and any identified risk factors.<\/p><p>If not for the mandated order to return both children to Australia, the Court raised concern that the above\u00a0relationships will be irretrievably damaged.

However, the Court did not accept that an application for an order that a child lives\u00a0exclusively with one or another parent is an application for a substantial and significant time.<\/p><p>Section 65DAA (2)(b) of the Act requires that the Court consider whether the child spending time with each parent would be in the\u00a0child\u2019s best interests. The father also contended that sufficient weight was not given to the children\u2019s views.<\/p><p>However, in the case of\u00a0<em>Maldera,\u00a0<\/em>it was found that it is not a requirement for a judge\u00a0in his Honour\u2019s position to make orders consistent with a child\u2019s stated views. Instead, a primary judge is\u00a0required to consider the weight to be given to such views.<\/p><p>Factors Giving Weight to a Child\u2019s Expressed Views<\/p><p>The Court stated there is a range of factors that may affect the weight given to a child\u2019s expressed view which\u00a0include age and level of maturity of the child in question. Therefore, context is critical as it is a matter for the\u00a0judge to determine how giving effect to a child\u2019s stated view aligns with the best interests of the child.<\/p><p>The case\u00a0of\u00a0<em>R &amp; R (Children\u2019s Wishes)<\/em>\u00a0[2002] FamCA 383 illustrates this point.\u00a0The parties and the Court were satisfied that each child could choose who they would live within Australia.\u00a0The children, however,\u00a0were not permitted to make other significant long-term decisions as that power remained\u00a0vested in the parties jointly. The majority dismissed the father\u2019s appeal and ordered that the father pay the\u00a0independent children\u2019s lawyer\u2019s costs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c48845f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c48845f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Allowing the Appeal<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2eb2986 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2eb2986\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Le Poer Trench J allowed the appeal on the basis that the hearing should have been adjourned with the mother\u00a0required to provide additional information about the proposal for the children to live with the volunteers.<\/p><p>Furthermore, the independent children\u2019s lawyer should have been given an opportunity to investigate the\u00a0proposal in the usual way that it is carried out.
