Kartha and Kartha

In the matter of *Kartha and Kartha*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for the parties' children. The court was presented with minutes of proposed orders agreed upon by the parties.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the parenting orders to be made, specifically concerning the children's living arrangements and the practicalities of their handover between parents. The court was also required to consider the inclusion of specific information regarding the obligations created by the orders, the consequences of contravention, and available support services, as mandated by the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

Cronin J made orders by consent in accordance with the minutes of proposed orders. These orders stipulated that the wife was to deliver the children to the husband's home at the commencement of his time with them, and the husband was to return the children to the wife's home at the conclusion of his time. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), the court directed that a Fact Sheet detailing the particulars of the obligations, the consequences of contravention, and available assistance be attached to and included within the orders. The solicitor for the wife was directed to engross the minutes and deliver them to the court's Associate within seven days.
