Goodman and Gillespie

In the matter of *Goodman and Gillespie*, heard before Judge Scarlett, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child born in 2009. The application sought to vary existing parenting arrangements, leading to the court's determination of the child's best interests in the context of parental responsibility and living arrangements.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders regarding parental responsibility, specifically whether equal shared parental responsibility should be ordered. Furthermore, the court had to decide the primary residence of the child and establish a communication regime between the child and the non-resident parent.

Judge Scarlett ordered the discharge of all earlier parenting orders. The court made orders for equal shared parental responsibility for the child, with the child to live with the mother. The father was granted specific telephone communication rights with the child on Wednesdays and Sundays between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm, with the mother directed to allow the child privacy during these calls. The matter was listed for further mention.
