Foxley and Foxley

This matter concerned an application by the parents, Mr and Mrs Foxley, regarding parenting orders for their three children. The dispute centred on the arrangements for the children's living situation, time spent with each parent, and related matters. The decision was made by Judge Obradovic in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders for equal shared parental responsibility, the children's primary residence, the time the children would spend with the father, communication arrangements, and provisions concerning the children's education, health, and the parents' conduct towards each other in the children's presence.

The court ordered that the parents have equal shared parental responsibility for the children. The children were to live with the mother, and spend time with the father according to a specific schedule involving school holidays and alternate weeks, with provisions for travel and notice. The court also made orders regarding changeover locations, nightly communication, injunctions against denigration, access to school and medical information, notification of emergencies, and changes of address.
