Murdoch and Aberquero

The case of *Murdoch and Aberquero* concerned parenting orders for two children, B and E. The dispute involved the allocation of parental responsibility and living arrangements for the children.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders regarding parental responsibility, the children's living arrangements, and measures to protect the children from parental denigration. Additionally, the court considered provisions for communication between the parents regarding the children's health and education, and the exchange of personal contact details.

Austin J discharged all former orders relating to the children and made new orders. The mother was granted sole parental responsibility, and the children were to live with her. The court imposed orders restraining both parties from denigrating the other in the children's presence or hearing, and requiring notification of medical emergencies and authorisation for communication with treating health professionals. The mother was also ordered to provide the father with school details and authorise the release of school reports and photograph order forms at his expense. The court also mandated the exchange of current postal addresses, mobile numbers, and email addresses. The father was informed that the mother, as the holder of sole parental responsibility, would determine the children's interaction with him.
