GLADSTONE & GLADSTONE

In the matter of *Gladstone & Gladstone*, Johnston J made parenting orders concerning three children, M, W, and C Gladstone. The proceedings involved a dispute between the parents regarding the children's living arrangements and parental responsibilities.

The court was required to determine the terms of parenting orders, specifically addressing issues of parental responsibility, the children's living arrangements, school-related matters, and provisions to ensure respectful communication between the parents regarding the children.

Johnston J ordered that the parents have equal shared parental responsibility for the children. The children were to live with the wife, with specific, detailed arrangements for the children to live with the husband on alternate weeks, alternate weekends, during half of all school holidays, and on specific public holidays and birthdays, with further provisions for suspensions of these arrangements during school holidays and on Mother's Day. The court also made orders regarding the children's schooling, ensuring continued enrolment and information sharing between parents, and prohibiting enrolment in extra-curricular activities without mutual consent. Finally, orders were made restraining either parent from denigrating the other or disclosing details of the proceedings to the children.
