GRALL & HACKETT

In the matter of *Grall & Hackett*, heard by Bennett J, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child born in 2004. The parties involved were the maternal grandmother, Ms Grall, and the father, Mr Hackett.

The court was required to determine the arrangements for the child's parental responsibility, living arrangements, time spent with each party, and communication between the child and the father. Additionally, the court considered the father's contribution to the applicant's costs and the inclusion of a fact sheet detailing the obligations and consequences of the orders.

Bennett J ordered that the maternal grandmother and the father share parental responsibility for the child. The child was to live with the maternal grandmother, who would be responsible for his day-to-day care, welfare, and development. The child was to spend time with the father as agreed between the parties, and they were to communicate by post or electronic means as they wished. The father was ordered to contribute $695 towards the applicant's costs by a specified date. The court also ordered that a fact sheet detailing the particulars and consequences of the orders be attached and included within the orders. All other extant applications before the court were dismissed. It was noted that the father's shared parental responsibility entitled him to access school records and discuss the child's progress with the school.
