The parties to this proceeding were the husband and wife, and the dispute concerned parenting orders for their three children, M, C, and J. The matter came before Justice Cohen.

The court was required to determine the residence of the children, who would have sole parental responsibility for them, and the specific times the husband would spend with the children. Additionally, the court needed to address provisions for communication between parents and children, the exchange of information regarding the children's schooling and health, and the division of property, specifically concerning a property known as S property.

Justice Cohen ordered that the children shall reside with the wife and that the wife shall have sole parental responsibility for them. The court then set out detailed provisions for the husband's time with the children during school terms, holidays, and specific occasions, including birthdays and religious observances. Provisions were also made for telephone contact between parents and children, the exchange of school and medical information, and the notification of addresses and contact details. The court further ordered the husband to transfer his interest in the S property to the wife, with a deputy registrar empowered to act as the husband's attorney if he failed to comply. It was declared that neither party had an interest in property or liability for debts solely held by the other, except as provided in the orders or listed in paragraph 56(C) of the judgment.
