Talk:Changing Family Law Orders and Agreements Involving Children

New cases on relocation

Editors of this page (Justin, Ron and Mary) may want to see if the new Supreme Court case L.J.R. v. S.W.R. means that any changes to the section on "Relocating with or without a child" should be considered.--Nate Russell (talk) 15:49, 9 August 2013 (PDT)

Hi Nate - thanks for the message. Definitely will review the case - we are due to have a team meeting later this month and will discuss this case and a few other cases at that time. Edits should be forthcoming shortly!--Justin Werb (talk) 17:37, 9 August 2013 (PDT)

Glad to hear you are all meeting to discuss this. Justin, I have taken the liberty to move your reply comment to underneath my original one, since that is the easiest way to know which comments are connected.--Nate Russell (talk) 11:11, 12 August 2013 (PDT)

thanks Nick. Just to confirm, Justin and I are chatting and I suspect we'll come up with some wording changes/additions following that chat. Best, Mary
