Girard and Gladwyn

In the matter of *Girard and Gladwyn*, heard by Judge Harland, the dispute concerned interim parenting arrangements for a child, [X], born in 2015. The proceedings also touched upon the occupation of a property.

The court was required to determine the specific time the child, [X], would spend with each parent during the interim period leading up to a further hearing. Additionally, the court needed to make orders regarding the supervision of the child during these periods, the location for changeovers, and communication methods between the child and the absent parent. The court also had to address the interim occupation of a property and the associated financial responsibilities.

Judge Harland ordered that the child, [X], would spend time with the mother from the date of the order until 12:00pm on 7 January 2019, and again from 12:00pm on 14 January 2019 until 12:00pm on 21 January 2019. The child would spend time with the father from 12:00pm on 7 January 2019 until 12:00pm on 14 January 2019, and then from 12:00pm on 21 January 2019 until the interim defended hearing on 24 January 2019. The maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother were to be in substantial attendance during the child's time with each parent. Changeovers were to occur at a specific McDonalds, and both parents were to facilitate regular Facetime or Skype communication with the child. The father was granted sole occupation of Property D, on the condition that he met the mortgage and outgoings. The parties were also directed to address the potential transfer of the proceeding to Sydney at the next occasion.
