Lawrence and McCormick

In the matter of *Lawrence and McCormick*, heard by Judge Newbrun, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for the parties' children. The court was tasked with determining the specific orders regarding the children's time with their father, the use of social media by the children, and the procedure for any potential relocation of the children's residence by the mother.

The court was required to establish a clear and workable schedule for the children to spend time with their father, addressing both agreed arrangements and providing a default order in the absence of agreement. Furthermore, the court needed to consider the implications of social media use by the children and the extent to which parents should be permitted to share photographs of the children online, alongside a requirement for parental supervision. Finally, the court had to determine the notice period the mother must provide to the father should she intend to relocate the children to an interstate location.

Judge Newbrun ordered that the children spend time with the Father as agreed between the parties, or, failing agreement, on alternate weekends from Friday 6:30 PM to Sunday 5:30 PM, with specific changeover locations and times. The parties were permitted to place photographs of the children on social media websites used by the children, provided they regularly supervised the children's use of these platforms. The court also ordered that if the Mother intended to relocate the children's residence interstate, she must provide the Father with at least one month's notice of her intention.
