George and Valentine

The matter of George and Valentine concerned final parenting orders made by Judge Small. The dispute involved the father's time and communication with his two children, X and Y.

The court was required to determine the specific arrangements for the father's time with the children, including during school terms, holidays, birthdays, and other significant dates. The court also needed to ensure that the orders complied with the requirements of the *Family Law Act 1975*, specifically sections 65DA(2) and 62B, regarding the particulars of obligations and consequences of contravention.

The court made final parenting orders by consent, in terms of a Minute of Consent Orders signed by the parties. These orders detailed specific periods for the father to spend time and communicate with the children, including alternate Fridays, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, the father's birthday, and the children's birthdays, with provisions for both school days and non-school days. The court also noted that the particulars of the obligations and the consequences of contravention were set out in Annexure A, in accordance with the *Family Law Act 1975*. All extant applications were dismissed, and the proceedings were removed from the list of pending cases.
