Kelsey and Kelsey

In the matter of *Kelsey and Kelsey*, heard before Murphy J, the dispute concerned parenting orders for two children, T Kelsey and S Kelsey. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the court's intervention is not detailed, but the orders made indicate it involved determining the living arrangements and parental responsibilities for the children.

The court was required to determine the primary residence of the children, the allocation of parental responsibility for their long-term welfare and development, and the nature and extent of the children's time and communication with their father. Additionally, the court considered the discharge of an order appointing an Independent Children's Lawyer and the inclusion of specific particulars regarding the obligations and consequences of the parenting orders.

Murphy J ordered that the children live with the mother and that the mother have sole parental responsibility for their long-term welfare and development. The children were to spend time with and communicate with the father as agreed between the parents. The mother was also ordered to keep the father informed of her telephone contact details. The order for the appointment of an Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation, the particulars of the obligations created by these orders, the consequences of contravention, and details of assistance for compliance were to be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was to be included as part of the orders.
