Muscat and Muscat

In the matter of *Muscat and Muscat*, heard before Rees J, the dispute concerned parenting orders for two children, X and Y. The orders made by the court addressed the living arrangements for the children, their time spent with each parent, and the supervision of that time.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of the parenting orders, including where the children would live, the extent of their contact with the father, and the conditions under which that contact would occur. The court also considered the need to provide information regarding the obligations and consequences of contravening these orders, as well as support services available to the parties.

Rees J made orders that the children live with the mother and spend time with the father each Saturday. This time with the father was to be supervised by the paternal grandmother, and the mother was directed to facilitate the handover of the children to and from the paternal grandparents' residence. Additionally, the children were granted video call access with the father on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The court also stipulated that particulars of the obligations, consequences of contravention, and available assistance were to be included in a Fact Sheet attached to the orders, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
