Clement and Clement

In *Clement and Clement*, Collier J considered parenting orders concerning a child born in September 2002. The dispute involved the arrangements for the child's living situation and time spent with each parent.

The court was required to determine the nature of parental responsibility, where the child would live, and the specific arrangements for the child to spend time with each parent. This included establishing a schedule for weekend and holiday contact, as well as detailing the practicalities of the father collecting and returning the child. The court also had to address communication with the child's school and emergency notification procedures.

Collier J ordered the discharge of all existing parenting orders and established equal shared parental responsibility. The child was to live with the mother, with specific, detailed provisions for the father to spend time with the child, including alternating weekends, school holidays, and specific dates during the December/January holiday periods. The orders also stipulated the father's responsibility for collection and return of the child, ensuring the child's participation in swimming activities, and requiring the mother to facilitate the father's access to school communications. The court further ordered that all outstanding applications be dismissed and that all issues be removed from the Active Pending Cases List.
