Milton and Milton

Stevenson J made orders concerning the parenting arrangements for two children, B and C. The dispute concerned the living arrangements and time spent between the children and their parents.

The court was required to determine the specific orders regarding the children's residence, the time they would spend with each parent, and the conditions and processes for any future changes to these arrangements. Further issues included the involvement of a clinical psychologist, arrangements for the children's care when with the father, changeover protocols, communication between parents regarding the children, and the sharing of costs for the Independent Children's Lawyer.

Stevenson J discharged all existing parenting orders and made new orders. The children were to live with the mother, with specific time arrangements for the father, including a period where certain individuals were to be absent. The parties were ordered to attend therapy with a clinical psychologist, whose recommendations regarding the progression of time with the father were to be followed, with a process for obtaining written opinions in case of disagreement. The orders also stipulated strict changeover procedures, communication protocols, and information sharing regarding the children's health and education, including provisions for direct communication with schools and treating practitioners.

The court ordered that each party pay half of the Independent Children's Lawyer's costs.
