HOLLANDS & HOLLANDS

In the matter of *Hollands & Hollands*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the parental responsibility and living arrangements for a child. The dispute involved the mother, Ms Hollands, and the father, concerning the child's upbringing.

The court was required to determine issues of parental responsibility, including who should have sole parental responsibility for the child, where the child should live, and whether the mother should have sole parental responsibility to change the child's surname. The court also considered the implications of contravening any orders made and the provision of assistance to parties.

Benjamin J ordered that the mother have sole parental responsibility for the child and that the child live with the mother. Furthermore, the mother was granted sole parental responsibility to change the child's surname. The court also directed that particulars of the obligations, consequences of contravention, and available assistance be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was incorporated into the orders. All outstanding parenting applications were dismissed.
