Francis and Francis

In *Francis and Francis*, heard by Judge Newbrun, the dispute concerned parenting orders for two children, [X] and [Y]. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the court's intervention is not detailed, but the final orders indicate a significant shift in the children's living arrangements and parental responsibilities.

The court was required to determine the most appropriate parenting arrangements for the children, considering their welfare and best interests. This involved deciding where the children would live, who would have parental responsibility, and the extent of time each child would spend with each parent. The court also had to consider the practicalities of changeovers, communication between parents regarding the children's well-being and education, and the need to prevent denigration of either parent.

Judge Newbrun ordered that all previous parenting orders be discharged. The children were to live with the mother, who was granted sole parental responsibility. The older child, [X], was to spend time with the father in accordance with her wishes. The younger child, [Y], was to spend time with the father on alternate Saturdays and alternate Thursdays after school, with specific provisions for school holidays and public holidays. The orders also stipulated detailed arrangements for changeovers, prohibited denigration of either parent, and established protocols for communication regarding the children's health, education, and general well-being.
