Carlton and Larry

In the matter of *Carlton and Larry*, heard by Judge Roberts, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for the child X. The father, Mr Carlton, and the mother, Ms Larry, sought orders regarding their respective roles and time with the child.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders for equal shared parental responsibility, the child's living arrangements, and the specific time the child would spend with each parent. Further issues included provisions for communication, special days, and the involvement of counselling and educational courses for the father.

Judge Roberts made orders for equal shared parental responsibility, with the child to live with the mother. The father was granted specific time with the child, including alternate weekends, mid-week time, and periods during school holidays, with detailed provisions for communication and special days. The orders also mandated counselling for both parents, with the child participating as directed by the counsellor, and required the father to attend specified courses. The matter was listed for a mention to monitor compliance.
