HAINS & PALER

This matter concerned the parenting arrangements for a child, X, born in 2006, between the Mother and the Father. The proceedings were before Justice Bennett.

The court was required to determine the specific orders regarding the child's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, communication, and other related matters, all of which were agreed upon by the parties. The court also considered the vacation of previously scheduled hearings and the discharge of certain reports and appointments.

The court's decision was based on the consent of both parties, reflecting their agreement on the terms of the parenting orders. These orders established equal shared parental responsibility, with the child to live with the Mother and spend time with the Father according to a detailed schedule encompassing regular periods, school holidays, and specific annual events. The orders also included provisions for communication between parents, restrictions on physical discipline and denigration, and requirements for parents to engage with the child's medical and educational professionals.

By consent, the court ordered that the parties have equal shared parental responsibility for the child, with the child to live with the Mother. Specific arrangements for the child's time with the Father were detailed, along with provisions for changeovers, parental obligations regarding schooling, and prohibitions against physical discipline and denigration. The court also ordered that previously scheduled hearings be vacated, and the order for a s. 62G(2) report and the Independent Children's Lawyer be discharged. The particulars of the obligations and consequences of contravening these orders were to be set out in an attached Fact Sheet. All other extant applications were dismissed, and the matter was removed from the list.
