Jenner and Jenner-Ferrer

This matter came before Bell J concerning parenting orders for two children. The dispute involved the arrangements for the children's residence, time spent with each parent, and related matters concerning their welfare and communication.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of the parenting orders, including the children's primary residence, the schedule for the children to spend time with each parent, and provisions for communication, education, and the exchange of information regarding the children's health. The court also needed to address undertakings regarding parental conduct and relocation.

Bell J made orders that the children would live with the Father, with the Mother responsible for their day-to-day care, welfare, and development when they were in her care. The orders detailed a specific schedule for the children to spend time with the Mother, including weekends, school holidays, and Christmas periods, with provisions for adjustments due to sporting commitments. The Father agreed not to relocate outside the school catchment area without the Mother's consent or a further court order. The orders also included provisions for communication between the children and the Mother, information sharing regarding the children's health, and prohibitions against denigration of either parent and physical discipline. The court also made orders regarding the exchange of children, notification of address changes, and restrained parties from discussing proceedings in the presence of the children.
