Abstract

The case of Shrimski in the High Court concerned the liability to maintain a child when access to the child is restricted. The case revolved around the custodial parent’s decision to move to Australia, followed by attempts to stifle access to the child by the non-custodial parent. This article describes the ruling in the High Court, centred on the welfare of the child. It then looks into other possible solutions to the problem of non-access.

This paper also contains a brief case comment on the Court of Appeal decision in Hartley.
