Donovan and Hargrave

In this matter before Judge Scarlett, the court considered parenting orders concerning the children of the marriage, [X] and [Y]. The dispute involved the arrangements for the children's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and the extent of each parent's involvement in the children's lives.

The court was required to determine the appropriate parenting orders, including the allocation of parental responsibility, the primary residence of the children, and the specific time each parent would spend with the children. Additionally, the court needed to address issues of communication, access to information regarding the children's education and health, and the holding of the children's passports.

The court ordered that previous parenting orders be discharged and that the Applicant Mother and Respondent Father share equal parental responsibility. The children were to live with the Respondent Father, with child [X] to spend time with the Applicant Mother in accordance with his wishes. Specific time arrangements were detailed for child [Y] with the Applicant Mother, including holiday periods, special days, and additional time as the child wished. The court also mandated that the Respondent Father facilitate the children spending time with the Applicant Mother, and that the Applicant Mother have liberal communication with the children. Further orders addressed the Applicant Mother's access to school and medical records, the sharing of contact details, and the secure holding of the children's passports.
