This matter came before Judge Young concerning parenting orders for a child, [X], born in 2011. The dispute involved the arrangements for the child's time with each parent, communication protocols, and the need for independent representation and a family report.

The court was required to determine the specific orders regarding the child's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, including special occasions, and the conditions under which such time would occur. Further issues included establishing communication guidelines between the parents, ensuring the child's privacy and safety, and addressing interstate travel arrangements. The court also needed to consider the appointment of an Independent Children's Lawyer and the preparation of a family report to assist in determining the child's best interests.

Judge Young discharged previous orders and made new orders detailing the child's residence with the Mother and specific, alternate weekend time with the Father, with conditions including the Father's direct care and restrictions on inappropriate computer content. The court also mandated detailed affidavits from the Father regarding computer games and established comprehensive communication protocols, including provisions for telephone calls, emails, SMS, and emergency notifications. The orders further stipulated arrangements for interstate travel, the child's privacy, and the appointment of an Independent Children's Lawyer. A family report was ordered to assess various factors relevant to the child's welfare, with specific directions for its preparation and dissemination. The matter was adjourned for a compliance check, with a trial date set for May 2019.
