Ferraro and Ferraro

In *Ferraro and Ferraro*, heard by Cronin J, the dispute concerned interim parenting orders for a child, X, born in June 1998. The proceedings also involved applications relating to financial matters between the parties.

The court was required to determine the interim living arrangements for the child X, including the specific days and times the child would spend with each parent. Additionally, the court needed to address the resolution of financial issues between the parties and the dismissal of certain interim applications.

Cronin J made orders for the child X to live with the husband on alternate weeks, commencing from Thursday of one week until Monday of the following week, and then from Thursday until Friday morning in the alternate week. The child was to live with the wife at all other times. The court also ordered the parties to attend a conciliation conference to attempt to resolve financial disputes, requiring them to exchange relevant financial documents and prepare financial questionnaires and balance sheets in accordance with the Family Law Rules 2004. Interim applications filed by the parties were otherwise dismissed, with liberty to apply for further interim parenting orders after the conciliation conference and receipt of a psychologist's report.
