Grella and Jamieson

In the matter of *Grella and Jamieson*, Hogan J made final orders concerning the parenting of a child, B. The dispute involved the living arrangements and parental responsibilities for B, with the court ultimately determining the terms of the child's residence, the allocation of parental responsibility for long-term decisions, and the specific times the child would spend with each parent.

The court was required to determine the primary residence of the child, B, and to allocate parental responsibility for significant long-term issues, including education, religious and cultural upbringing, health, and changes to living arrangements. Additionally, the court had to establish a detailed schedule for the child's time with the father, including provisions for weekends, school holidays, and special occasions such as Christmas and Father's Day, as well as outlining communication protocols and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Hogan J ordered that B live with the mother in South East Queensland and granted the mother sole parental responsibility for major long-term issues, subject to a requirement to consult with the father in writing regarding such decisions. The father was granted specific, progressively increasing periods of time with the child, including alternate weekends and extended periods during school holidays, with detailed provisions for communication and changeovers. The orders also included specific restraints on removing the child from Australia until December 2017 and directed the Australian Federal Police to place the child on the Family Law Watchlist. All previous orders and parenting plans were discharged, and outstanding applications were dismissed.
