Masri & Masri (No 2)

In *Masri & Masri (No 2)*, Hannam J determined parenting orders concerning the children D and E. The dispute involved the arrangements for the children's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and related welfare matters.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of parenting orders, including the allocation of equal shared parental responsibility, the children's primary residence, and a detailed schedule for the children's time with each parent during school terms, school holidays, and significant annual events. Further issues included provisions for communication between the parents, the prohibition of physical discipline and denigration, and arrangements for the children's education and medical care.

Hannam J applied the principles of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), focusing on the best interests of the children. The court ordered the discharge of all previous parenting orders and established new arrangements. These included equal shared parental responsibility, with the children to live with the mother. A detailed two-week cycle for time spent with the father during school terms was set, along with specific provisions for school holidays, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, and other significant days. The orders also included prohibitions on physical discipline and denigration, detailed communication protocols, and requirements for information sharing regarding the children's health and education, including enrolment at a specific school and clinic.
