CALLIHAN & CALLIHAN

In the matter of *Callihan & Callihan*, heard by Judge Newbrun, the dispute concerned parenting orders for two children, X (born 2014) and Y (born 2017), and a related property adjustment.

The court was required to determine the parenting arrangements for the children, specifically addressing issues of parental responsibility, residence, and the nature and frequency of the Father's contact with the children. The court also considered the Father's ability to communicate with the children on special occasions and the Mother's entitlement to travel with the children internationally.

The court ordered that the Mother have sole parental responsibility for the children and that they live with her. The Father's time with the children was significantly restricted, to be supervised by a contact service for a single two-hour period every three months. The Father was permitted to send gifts and correspondence to the children for special occasions. Furthermore, the Mother was authorised to remove the children from Australia at her discretion for travel purposes.
