Michelle has come to see you. She is a long-term client of the firm and has just separated from her partner, Clare. She seeks urgent advice. Michelle tells you she started going out with Clare in January 2021. They would spend a couple of nights each week at each other's houses (in Wollongong) but did not live together full time. Clare rented her flat and did not own any property. Michelle owns a house in Mangerton. In November 2021, Clare received an inheritance of $80,000 and gave $40,000 from that inheritance to Michelle so that Michelle could carry out urgent repairs to her house in Mangerton. One night at dinner in December 2021, Michelle told Clare and two friends - Chris and his partner George - of her desire to have a child. Chris said that he would be happy to donate sperm. In April 2022, a number of embryos were created from Chris' sperm and eggs harvested from Michelle. One of those embryos was implanted in Michelle in early May 2022 and on 15 June 2022, it was confirmed successful. On 30 June 2022, Clare said to Michelle, 'I really want to help you through this and be part of it. How about I move in with you? I can help and we can also save money.' Clare moved in with Michelle on 12 July 2022. Michelle gave birth to a daughter, Annie, on 5 March 2023. Michelle was the only parent named on the birth certificate. A month later, they had a 'naming party' and invited Chris and George. Michelle took 12 months maternity leave and Clare took 6 months partner leave. During that 6 months, Michelle and Clare shared the full-time care of Annie. When Clare went back to work, she still helped out with Annie's care after work and on evenings and weekends. Chris and George also began to take Annie for a few hours at a time on weekends every now and then to give their friends a break and once looked after Annie overnight. Chris and George helped pay for clothes, a pram, toys and other expenses related to Annie. Unbeknown to Michelle, as Annie began to talk, Chris encouraged her to call him 'daddy' when they were looking after her. In February this year, Michelle and Clare had a falling out with Chris and George over spending time with Annie. They wanted more overnight visits. Michelle was not comfortable with this. Michelle and Clare also began to argue about things related to Annie's care. For example, Clare was vegetarian and wanted Annie to be vegetarian. Michelle disagreed. They also disagreed about Annie's sleep patterns. On 11 March this year, they had a huge argument and Clare left the house saying, 'I can't stand this. I'm out of here.' Michelle said, 'Don't think you can come back. Stay away from us.' On 18 March this year, Clare phoned Michelle and told her, 'I am also Annie's parent. You can't cut me out of her life. I can get orders that you share Annie with me. I have been told that I can also make a property claim against you.' Michelle hung up on Clare and refused to answer any more calls or messages from her. Last night, Michelle received a call from Chris. He said, 'I heard about you and Clare. That's sad, but you know, George and I are 'daddies' to Annie and we won't let you keep her out of our lives either. We can take you to court.' Michelle became upset and hung up. Michelle seeks your advice. She wants to know if Clare, Chris or George will be seen as parents of Annie and whether any of them could possibly obtain orders providing that Annie spend time with them. She doesn't know what to make of Clare's comments regarding a property claim. What would you advise Michelle? (Please note, in addressing any issues in relation to property, your advice need only be limited to whether Clare might be able to bring a claim and the basis of your advice including any relevant statutory provisions. As we have not yet studied the property claim process, there is no need to identify the actual property process and related law.)
