Egan & Egan

The case of *Egan & Egan* concerned an application by the father for orders regarding the time the children, S Egan, H Egan, and Y Egan, would spend with him. The dispute centred on the specific arrangements for these periods of time, particularly during New South Wales school terms. The decision was made by Watts J.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the appropriate orders for the children's time with the father. This involved considering the practicalities of collection from school, the duration of the time spent with the father, and the responsibilities to be undertaken by the father during that time, including ensuring the children had their evening meal, completed homework, and participated in any after-school activities.

Watts J ordered that during New South Wales school terms, the children would spend time with the father from after school until 7:30 pm each Wednesday. The father was to collect the children from their respective schools and return them to the mother's residence at the conclusion of this period. The father was also to ensure the children had their evening meal, completed their homework, and engaged in any other after-school activities on Wednesdays. The father's application was otherwise dismissed.
