BALDWIN & PANTAZIS

This decision concerns parenting orders made by Cleary J in relation to a child born in 2015. The dispute involved the arrangements for the child's residence, time with each parent, and parental responsibility.

The court was required to determine the specific orders regarding the child's living arrangements, the division of parental responsibility for long-term decisions, and the practicalities of communication, health, education, and travel arrangements between the parents.

Cleary J ordered that prior parenting orders be discharged and that the parents have equal shared parental responsibility for long-term issues, requiring them to consult on matters of health, education, and religion. The child was ordered to live with the father, with specific provisions for the mother's time with the child, including during school terms and holidays. The orders also detailed arrangements for changeovers, overseas travel, and the exchange of information between parents regarding the child's welfare.
