This matter concerned parenting orders for three children, X, Y, and Z, born in 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively. The proceedings were before Judge Boyle. The court was required to determine the future parenting arrangements for the children, including issues of parental responsibility, living arrangements, and time spent with each parent.

The court was tasked with determining the extent of parental responsibility for making major long-term decisions concerning the children's care, welfare, and development. It also needed to establish the children's primary residence and the specific arrangements for the time each parent would spend with the children, including provisions for communication, changeovers, and the exchange of information. Further, the court was required to consider orders restraining certain behaviours between the parents and to make miscellaneous orders regarding passports and extracurricular activities.

In reaching its decision, the court discharged all previous parenting orders. It ordered that the father have sole parental responsibility for all major long-term decisions, with specific provisions for the mother to be informed and to provide input. The children were ordered to live with the father, and detailed arrangements were made for the children to spend time with the mother, varying depending on her proximity to the father's residence. The court also made orders regarding communication between the parents and children, the exchange of information concerning the children's health and education, and restraints on denigrating the other parent or discussing proceedings with the children. Miscellaneous orders were made concerning passports and the children's participation in activities.
