INGLETON & INGLETON

In *Ingleton & Ingleton*, heard by Judge Harland, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements and property division between the mother and father. The mother sought lump sum payments and periodic maintenance, while the court also considered issues of family violence, cultural considerations, and parental responsibility in making interim or final orders.

The court was required to determine the living arrangements for the children, the allocation of parental responsibility concerning their education, religion, and health, and the extent to which each parent should have access to information regarding the children's schooling and medical treatment. Furthermore, the court had to address the division of the parties' property, including personalty, monies, motor vehicles, and superannuation entitlements, as well as the question of periodic maintenance.

Judge Harland reasoned that the children should live with the mother and that she should have sole parental responsibility for their education, religion, and health, while ensuring the father had access to relevant information at his cost. The court declared each party to be the sole and absolute owner of property in their possession, custody, or control not otherwise dealt with. A superannuation splitting order was to be submitted within 42 days, and the father was ordered to pay periodic maintenance to the mother.
