Ainsworth and Miles

In the matter of *Ainsworth and Miles*, heard by Judge Burchardt, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for the children of the marriage, X and Y. The previous orders were discharged, and the court was required to determine the future parental responsibility, living arrangements, and contact arrangements for the children.

The court was tasked with determining the specific orders regarding parental responsibility, where the children would live, and the nature and extent of the father's time with the children. Additionally, the court needed to address communication between the parents and the children, the father's access to information about the children's schooling, and the conduct of the parents towards each other in the context of parenting. The court also considered the need for one parent to attend a workshop and the inclusion of specific information regarding contravention of orders.

Judge Burchardt ordered that the mother have sole parental responsibility for the children and that the children live with her. The father was to spend time with the children based on their wishes, with the mother facilitating such time. The mother was also ordered to provide the father with his contact details and to ensure he received copies of all school-related information. Both parents were restrained from denigrating the other parent to or in the presence of the children. The mother was further ordered to attend and complete a workshop addressing stress and anxiety. The orders incorporated a Fact Sheet detailing the obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance available to the parties.
