Hogan and Templeton

This matter concerned parenting orders made by Judge Wilson in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The dispute involved the applicant and the respondent regarding the care arrangements for their child, X.

The court was required to determine the specific orders concerning equal shared parental responsibility, the child's living arrangements, and the time each parent would spend with the child. Additionally, the court needed to address various ancillary matters, including communication between parents, travel arrangements, medical information sharing, dispute resolution, and behavioural expectations.

Judge Wilson ordered the discharge of all previous parenting orders and established equal shared parental responsibility for the child. The child was ordered to live with the respondent, with detailed provisions outlining the time the child would spend with the applicant, including specific schedules for weekdays, weekends, holidays, and birthdays, which were to evolve over several years. The orders also included provisions for communication, notification of travel, access to medical information, dispute resolution mechanisms, and prohibitions against denigrating the other parent. The respondent was also ordered to rectify certain records pertaining to the child's name.
