Gottlund and Webster

In *Gottlund and Webster*, heard before Hogan J, the dispute concerned final parenting orders for a child, B, born in 2002. The proceedings involved the mother and the father, Mr Webster.

The court was required to determine the living arrangements for the child, the allocation of parental responsibility for major long-term issues, and the extent of the child's contact with the father. The court also considered the role of the Independent Children's Lawyer and other outstanding applications.

Hogan J ordered that the child, B, live with the mother and that the mother have sole parental responsibility for all major long-term issues, including education, religious and cultural upbringing, and health. The court further ordered that the child have no contact with the father, Mr Webster. The Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged, and all other outstanding applications were dismissed. The orders included a fact sheet detailing obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance available for compliance, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
