Azzarudin and Kulat

In the matter of *Azzarudin and Kulat*, Carew J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application to vary existing parenting orders concerning a child born in 2006. The dispute centred on the arrangements for the child's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and international travel.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of new parenting orders, including the child's primary residence, the schedule for time spent with the father, arrangements for international travel to Country C and within Australia, communication between the child and parents, the child's secondary schooling, and the holding of the child's passports.

Carew J discharged specific paragraphs of the previous parenting order and made new orders detailing the child's residence with the mother and a comprehensive schedule for time spent with the father. This schedule included provisions for travel to Country C and within Australia during various school holidays and other periods, with specific arrangements for accompanied and unaccompanied travel and associated costs. The court also made orders regarding communication, secondary schooling at D School, and the holding of passports, with exceptions for travel. All extant applications were dismissed.
