CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Golberg and Golberg*, the husband and wife were before the Court concerning orders relating to the education of their two children, L and Z. The dispute centred on the enrolment and ongoing attendance of the children at a private school, as well as the management of associated expenses and uniform requirements.

The Court was required to determine the specific obligations of each parent regarding the children's schooling, including the enrolment and attendance at S Private School. Further issues included the wife's ability to incur expenses on the school account and the method for acquiring school uniforms, ensuring equitable involvement of both parents. The Court also considered undertakings provided by the husband and his parents.

Justice Le Poer Trench ordered that both parents must take all necessary steps to enrol and maintain the children's attendance at S Private School until the conclusion of their high school education. The wife was restricted from charging expenses to the school account or enrolling the children in activities that would incur charges without the husband's written consent. The parties were also directed to agree on a method for acquiring school uniforms that allowed for equal involvement in selection and fitting. The Court noted that these orders were not child support orders and did not relieve the wife of her obligation to contribute to basic educational supplies.
