CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Costello and Costello*, heard by Tree J, the dispute concerned parenting orders. The specific orders under consideration were those made on 12 April 2016, 22 December 2016, and 16 March 2017, which were subject to variation and suspension.

The court was required to determine the terms of the father's time with the children, including the frequency and duration of that time, and any geographical limitations on where the children could be taken. Additionally, the court considered an extension for compliance with a previous order.

Tree J ordered that certain previous orders be suspended and varied the father's time with the children to alternate Saturdays from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, with specific provisions for changeovers. A geographical restriction was imposed, limiting the father from taking the children more than 120km from G Town. The court also extended the time for compliance with a prior order.
