Costello and Costello

This matter concerned an application by the father for orders regarding time spent with his three children, B, C, and D, and the schooling of the younger two children. The proceedings were before Tree J.

The court was required to determine the specific arrangements for the father's time with the children during the 2015/2016 Christmas school holidays, including the days, times, and locations for contact and changeovers. Additionally, the court needed to make orders regarding the commencement of schooling for children C and D. The parties also sought consent orders concerning the children's treatment and a further hearing date.

Tree J made detailed orders by consent regarding the father's supervised time with the children during the Christmas holidays, specifying the duration, days, and locations for contact and changeovers, with supervision to be provided by the paternal grandparents. The court also ordered, by consent, that the youngest two children, C and D, were to commence attendance at H School in G Town in 2016. Further, by consent, both parties were ordered to comply with the reasonable recommendations of Dr I regarding the treatment for D. The further hearing of interim orders was adjourned to a specified date.
