Marshall and Willow

In the matter of *Marshall and Willow*, heard before Dessau J, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for a child. The orders made by consent addressed issues of custody, day-to-day care, and contact arrangements between the applicant, Mr Marshall, and the respondent, Ms Willow.

The court was required to make orders regarding the sole custody of the child, the applicant's responsibility for the child's day-to-day care, and the nature and extent of the respondent's contact with the child, including overnight stays. The court also needed to incorporate specific provisions relating to the obligations and consequences of contravening these orders, as well as details of support services, pursuant to Sections 65DA and 62B of the relevant legislation.

The orders were made by consent of the parties. The court ordered that Mr Marshall have sole custody and be responsible for the child's day-to-day care. Ms Willow was granted contact with the child, including overnight stays, as agreed upon with Mr Marshall. The orders further stipulated that particulars of obligations, consequences of contravention, and available assistance were to be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was to be incorporated into the orders. The court also ordered that a transcript of its brief reasons for judgment be prepared and retained on the court file, and that a sealed copy of the orders be forwarded to the respondent.
