Jardine and Jardine-Roseby

In the matter of *Jardine and Jardine-Roseby*, heard by Judge Altobelli, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child born in 2004. The orders reflect a resolution reached by the parents regarding their respective responsibilities and the child's living arrangements.

The court was required to make orders concerning the parental responsibility for the child, including decision-making for day-to-day care, welfare, and development. Further issues addressed included the child's living arrangements with each parent, the allocation of school holiday periods, the practical arrangements for the transfer of the child between parents, and the child's schooling. The court also considered orders to restrain parental conduct towards each other in the child's presence and to facilitate the child's attendance at a dispute resolution conference.

The court made orders reflecting the parents' agreement, establishing equal shared parental responsibility for the child. The parents were granted sole parental responsibility for day-to-day decisions concerning the child while the child was in their respective care. The child was ordered to live with the Father at all times when not living with the Mother, with specific alternate weekly arrangements detailed. The Mother was allocated one half of each school holiday period. The Father was made responsible for the child's collection and delivery between residences and school on days the child was not living with him. An injunction was granted restraining the Father from entering the Mother's residence. The child was to have telephone contact with the non-resident parent on alternate days. The parents were ordered to re-enrol the child at a specific school and were restrained from abusing or criticising each other in the child's presence. The parties were also ordered to attend a child-inclusive dispute resolution conference.
