Kerman and Kinney

In the matter of *Kerman and Kinney*, heard before Judge Scarlett, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for three children. The specific nature of the dispute leading to the court's intervention is not detailed, but the final orders indicate a significant shift in the children's living arrangements and parental responsibility.

The court was required to determine the future living arrangements for the children, who were born in 2011, 2003, and 2006, and to decide which parent would have sole parental responsibility for them. Additionally, the court considered the necessity of ongoing independent assessments and legal representation for the children.

Judge Scarlett ordered that all previous parenting orders be discharged. The three children are to live with the Respondent Mother, who will have sole parental responsibility for them. The children will spend time with and communicate with the Father as agreed between the parents. The court also cancelled a Family Report previously ordered under section 62G of the *Family Law Act 1975* and discharged the Independent Children’s Lawyer. No order for costs was made.
