Holden and Mount

This matter concerned parenting orders made by consent between the mother and father of two children, X and Y. The court was Judge Brown.

The legal issues before the court involved determining the living arrangements for the children, their parental responsibility, and the specific times they would spend with each parent.

Specific arrangements were detailed for the children to spend time with the father, with significant emphasis placed on the children's wishes and their agreement to such time. The orders also included provisions for communication, parental conduct, and financial contributions towards the children's education.
