Adamson and Fuller

This matter concerned parenting orders for children E and F, with the proceedings before Cronin J. The dispute involved the arrangements for the children's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and parental responsibility.

The court was required to determine the specific orders regarding the children's residence, the father's time with each child, and the allocation of parental responsibility. Additionally, the court needed to address arrangements for special occasions, school holidays, and the practicalities of transitions between parents, including communication protocols and the involvement of professionals.

The court made orders by consent, establishing equal shared parental responsibility for both children. The primary residence of the children was ordered to be with the mother, with specific provisions for the father to spend time with each child on alternate weekends and during school holidays. Detailed arrangements were also set out for special occasions, including birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Easter, and Christmas, with alternating arrangements for certain events in odd and even-numbered years. The orders also included provisions for communication between parents, travel, and the facilitation of contact between the children and the non-resident parent. The Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged from the proceedings.
