Galvin and Galvin

In *Galvin and Galvin*, heard by Judge Harland, the court considered an application filed on 29 September 2016 concerning parenting arrangements for the child X. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the application is not detailed, but the court's orders indicate it involved significant disagreements regarding the child's care and time spent with each parent.

The primary legal issues before the court were the determination of the child's living arrangements, the allocation of parental responsibility, and the specific terms of time spent between the child and each parent. The court was also required to address issues of travel, communication, and conduct between the parents concerning the child, including the prevention of denigration and discussion of proceedings in the child's presence.

Judge Harland discharged all previous parenting orders and made new orders establishing equal shared parental responsibility for the child. The child was ordered to live with the mother, with the father to spend time with the child during school terms when not working, up to 12 days per calendar month, and during school holidays for up to half the period, subject to agreement and the father's work commitments. The court also imposed injunctions restraining the parties from changing the child's school enrolment without mutual written consent and from denigrating each other or discussing proceedings in the child's presence. Specific provisions were made for holiday periods, including overseas travel, and for notification requirements regarding interstate and international travel with the child.
