FISHER & POULIN

In the matter of Fisher & Poulin, Judge Jones of the Family Court of Australia considered parenting orders concerning a child born in 2007. The dispute involved the arrangements for the child's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and communication between the parents.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of parenting orders, including the allocation of parental responsibility, the child's primary residence, and the schedule for the child's time with each parent. This encompassed detailed provisions for school terms, holidays, birthdays, and other significant dates, as well as communication protocols and parental conduct.

Judge Jones ordered the discharge of all previous parenting orders. The court established equal shared parental responsibility for the child, with the child to live with the father. Detailed provisions were made for the child's time with the mother, including specific weekend arrangements, half of short and long holidays, and additional time for birthdays and public holidays. The orders also stipulated communication arrangements, including a weekly phone call, and outlined requirements for notification of illness, travel, and criminal charges. Furthermore, the court imposed injunctions restraining the parties from denigrating each other, exposing the child to conflict, being under the influence of illegal substances during time with the child, and physically disciplining the child. The parties were also ordered to inform each other of any criminal charges relating to individuals staying in their households.
