Jackman and Jackman

In the matter of *Jackman and Jackman*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia considered parenting orders. The dispute concerned the arrangements for the children of the marriage.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the parenting orders to be made, given the consent of the parties and the Independent Children’s Lawyer. The court was also required to consider the provisions of sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) concerning the particulars of obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance for compliance.

Benjamin J made parenting orders by consent, in accordance with the minute of order signed by the parties and the Independent Children’s Lawyer. These orders incorporated a Fact Sheet detailing the obligations, potential consequences of contravention, and information on assistance for compliance, as required by the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
