Grant and Morson and; Wood and Wood and Anor

In the matter of *Grant and Morson and; Wood and Wood and Anor*, heard before Judge Harman, the dispute concerned interim parenting orders for two children, X and Y. The proceedings involved the mother, Ms Grant, the maternal grandmother, Ms Morson, and the father, Mr Wood. The court was required to determine the interim living arrangements and parental responsibility for the children pending further orders.

The central legal issues before the court were the appropriate interim parenting arrangements for children X and Y, and the allocation of parental responsibility. This involved considering the welfare and best interests of the children in light of the existing final parenting orders and the need for new interim provisions.

Judge Harman reasoned that the existing final parenting orders should be suspended pending further investigation. The court discharged all existing interim parenting orders and made new interim arrangements. Pursuant to section 61C of the *Family Law Act 1975*, Ms Morson and Ms Grant were granted parental responsibility for child Y when she was in their respective care. The court ordered that Y would live with her mother from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon each weekend, and with her grandmother, Ms Morson, from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon each week. The specific arrangements for child X were not detailed in the provided extract.
