Nathan and Weston

This matter concerned an application before Berman J in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia concerning parenting arrangements for two children, X (born 2010) and Y (born 2012). The dispute revolved around the specific terms of time the children would spend with their father.

The court was required to determine the precise schedule for the children's time with the father, including arrangements for alternate weekends, mid-week contact during school terms, and time during school holidays. The court also needed to consider the location for the handover of the children between the parents.

Berman J ordered that certain previous orders be discharged and established a new schedule for the children's time with the father. This included alternate weekend contact from Friday after school until Sunday afternoon, Tuesday evening contact during school terms, and overnight contact during school holidays. The court also stipulated that handovers were to occur at the mother's home unless otherwise agreed.
