Bradshaw and Bradshaw

In the matter of Bradshaw and Bradshaw, Judge McGuire considered an application concerning the parental responsibility and living arrangements for two children, [X] and [Y]. The dispute centred on how the parents would share responsibility for the children and the specific arrangements for the children to spend time with each parent.

The court was required to determine the extent of equal shared parental responsibility for the children, where the children would primarily live, and the detailed schedule for the children to spend time with the father. Additionally, the court had to consider an application by the father for an injunction to prevent the children from flying in light aircraft piloted by the maternal grandfather.

The court ordered that the parents have equal shared parental responsibility for the children. The children were ordered to live with the mother. The court then set out a detailed schedule for the children to spend time with the father, including specific arrangements for weekdays, weekends, school holidays, and public holidays such as Christmas and Father's Day. The court also made orders regarding the father's compliance with medical prescriptions and his consultation with a Mr J. The father's application for an injunctive order was dismissed.
