Ganit and Ganit

In *Ganit and Ganit*, the court was asked to determine parenting orders concerning two children, [X] and [Y]. The dispute centred on the children's residence and time spent with each parent, particularly in light of a potential relocation by the mother.

The court was required to make orders regarding equal shared parental responsibility, the children's primary residence, and the specific arrangements for the children to spend time with each parent. Further issues included provisions for the children's birthdays, Father's Day and Mother's Day weekends, and specific Christmas and Boxing Day arrangements for 2018. The court also addressed the need for both parents to undertake counselling and for the father to complete an anger management course. A significant aspect of the determination involved conditional orders, where the outcome for residence and time would differ based on whether the mother relocated the children to a specific location in Western Australia.

The court ordered equal shared parental responsibility for the children. The children were to live with the mother if she relocated them to Town B, Western Australia, and enrolled them in their previous school within 56 days. Otherwise, the children were to live with the father. Specific provisions were made for the children to spend time with the father during school terms and holidays, with alternating arrangements for holiday periods. The orders also detailed how the children would spend time with each parent on their birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, and over Christmas and Boxing Day in 2018. The court also mandated counselling for both parents and anger management for the father. The matter was subsequently transferred to the Family Court of Western Australia.
