Marsden and Marsden

In the matter of *Marsden and Marsden*, heard before McClelland J, the dispute concerned arrangements for the education of two children, V and A. The specific nature of the disagreement leading to the court's intervention is not detailed, but the orders made indicate a contest regarding school enrolment and associated financial obligations.

The court was required to determine the immediate educational placements for both children. This involved deciding whether V should remain enrolled at X School and whether A should be re-enrolled at W School, with a contingency plan if re-enrolment at W School proved impossible. The court also had to address the conditions under which these arrangements would be implemented, particularly concerning the payment of school fees.

McClelland J ordered that V was to remain enrolled at X School. For A, the court stipulated that re-enrolment at W School was conditional upon the father paying all outstanding fees to that institution. The parties were directed to cooperate in facilitating this re-enrolment. Should re-enrolment at W School not be feasible, the parties were ordered to enrol A at a school determined by the New South Wales Department of Education as the most appropriate.
