CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Currie and Wilkins (No 2)*, Cronin J of the Family Court of Australia considered parenting orders concerning the children C, D, E, and B. The dispute involved the parents' responsibilities and the children's living arrangements.

The court was required to determine the appropriate parenting orders, including issues of parental responsibility, the children's residence, and restrictions on the father's access to the children's school and extracurricular activities. The court also considered the implications of section 121 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) regarding the disclosure of court orders.

Cronin J discharged all existing parenting orders and made new orders granting the mother sole parental responsibility for the children and ordering that the children live with her. The father was restrained from attending the children's school or extracurricular activities unless agreed by the parties. The court also permitted the mother to provide a copy of the orders to the children's schools for the purposes of section 121 of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth). All other extant proceedings were dismissed, and the Independent Children’s Lawyer was discharged. The orders included particulars of obligations and consequences of contravention, as set out in an attached Fact Sheet.
