Le and Lao and Ors

In *Le and Lao and Ors*, Gill J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia made orders by consent concerning the living arrangements and time spent with the children of the marriage, B and C. The dispute involved the Applicant Wife and the Husband, with the 2nd and 3rd Respondents also noted.

The court was required to determine the specific arrangements for the children's residence and the Applicant Wife's time with them, including provisions for weekdays, weekends, school holidays, and specific public holidays. The orders also addressed practical matters such as communication regarding the children's activities and the handover of personal belongings.

The orders were made by consent of the parties, reflecting an agreement on the children's living arrangements and the Applicant Wife's time with them. The court formally recorded these agreed terms, which included the children living with the Husband and detailed provisions for the Wife's time with the children, encompassing specific days, times, and conditions. The orders also included provisions for the handover of the Wife's clothing, shoes, books, and jewellery, and noted that the parties reserved their rights regarding the release or return of monies and chattels. The matter was adjourned for further consideration.
