Dalca and Hamid

In the matter of *Dalca and Hamid*, heard before Bennett J, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for two children, D and N. The court was required to determine the future parental responsibility and living arrangements for the children, as well as the extent of the father's involvement in their schooling and the communication of relevant information between the parents and the paternal grandmother.

The court's reasoning focused on establishing orders that would best serve the interests of the children. Bennett J discharged all previous parenting orders and made new orders regarding sole parental responsibility and the children's residence. The court also stipulated specific provisions for the father and paternal grandmother to receive school reports and photographs of the children, and for the father to notify of any changes to his or the paternal grandmother's address.

The final orders reflected a determination of sole parental responsibility for the mother, with the children to live with her. The court also made detailed provisions regarding the communication of school-related information to the father and paternal grandmother, and obligations for the father to update his address. The orders included a fact sheet outlining contravention consequences and support services, and otherwise dismissed extant applications, removing the matter from the docket.
