The court was required to determine the specific interim parenting orders concerning the time the children B and C would spend with their father. This included establishing a schedule for his contact, which was to be reviewed and potentially modified at a subsequent hearing. The court also addressed the need for further evidence, specifically an updated Family Report, and the preparation of affidavits concerning residence.

Bennett J made detailed orders regarding the father's time with the children, commencing from June 2015 and establishing a fortnightly pattern for B and specific weekend arrangements for C.
