McVeigh and McVeigh

In the matter of McVeigh and McVeigh, heard before Judge Scarlett, the dispute concerned interim orders regarding the parental responsibility for three children, X, Y, and Z. The parties, the Applicant and the Respondent, sought consent orders relating to the children's long-term welfare.

The court was required to determine the terms of interim orders concerning the shared parental responsibility for the children's long-term health and education. Additionally, the court needed to make orders for the parties to engage with a family consultant for the preparation of a Family Report, as mandated by section 62G of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

By consent of the parties, Judge Scarlett made orders for equal shared parental responsibility for all long-term matters concerning the health and education of the children until further order. The court also ordered the parties to attend upon a family consultant for the preparation of a Family Report. The application was subsequently adjourned for further mention before Judge Kemp.
