Hale and Wanden (No. 2)

In *Hale and Wanden (No. 2)*, Guest J of the Family Court of Australia considered orders concerning the living arrangements and responsibilities for a child born in June 2002. The dispute involved the father and mother of the child, with the father having filed an Application in a Case on 31 December 2007.

The court was required to determine the specific orders regarding the child's residence, the division of parental responsibilities for both day-to-day and long-term care, and the arrangements for the mother to spend time with the child. Additionally, the court needed to address the inclusion of a Fact Sheet detailing the obligations and consequences of contravening the orders, as provided for under sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975*.

Guest J ordered that the child live with the father, who would be responsible for the child's day-to-day care, welfare, and development. Both parents were to share responsibility for the child's long-term care, welfare, and development. The mother was to spend time with the child as agreed between the parties. The court also ordered that the particulars of these obligations, the consequences of contravention, and information on assistance for compliance be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was to be included in the orders pursuant to the relevant sections of the *Family Law Act 1975*. The father's Application in a Case filed on 31 December 2007 was otherwise dismissed, and the proceedings were removed from the Active Pending Cases List.
