Flint and Dawes

In the matter of *Flint and Dawes*, heard before Judge Harland, the applicant sought orders concerning the parental responsibility and living arrangements for two children, X and Y. The respondent was the other parent of the children. The dispute centred on the future care and upbringing of X and Y, with the applicant seeking sole parental responsibility and the children to live with them.

The court was required to determine the best interests of the children, X and Y, in relation to their living arrangements and parental responsibility. This involved assessing the capacity of each parent to provide for the children's needs and welfare, and to make decisions regarding their upbringing. The court also had to consider the nature of the time the children would spend with the respondent.

Judge Harland ordered that all previous orders be discharged. The applicant was granted sole parental responsibility for the children, X and Y. Furthermore, the court ordered that the children live with the applicant. The children were to spend supervised time, or otherwise with the respondent as agreed between the parties from time to time.
