Bondai and Bretton

In the matter of *Bondai and Bretton*, O’Reilly J of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia considered a dispute between the parties concerning parenting orders. The primary focus of the judicial determination, as distinct from the consent orders, related to the specific arrangements for changeover on alternate Fridays after school.

The court was required to determine the appropriate location for the changeover of the children on alternate Fridays after school. This determination was made in the context of broader parenting orders, which were largely agreed upon by the parties.

O’Reilly J’s reasoning and the legal principles applied are not detailed in the provided text, beyond the fact that the decision on the Friday changeover location was a judicial determination. The court also ordered that the original minute of orders be kept on the court file and that a Fact Sheet, detailing the obligations, consequences of contravention, and available assistance, be incorporated into the orders pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation.

The orders were made by consent, with the exception of the judicially determined issue regarding the place for changeover on alternate Fridays after school.
