Nold and Nold

In the matter of Nold and Nold, the parties brought their dispute before Cronin J. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the court's orders indicate it concerned family law matters, likely involving property settlement or parenting arrangements, given the reference to specific sections of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) concerning parenting orders and financial agreements.

The court was required to determine the terms of the final orders to be made in the proceeding. This involved considering and approving minutes of proposed orders agreed upon by the parties, and ensuring that these orders complied with the procedural and substantive requirements of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), particularly concerning the provision of information to the parties about their obligations and the consequences of contravention.

Cronin J made orders by consent in accordance with the minutes of proposed orders presented by the parties, which were marked as Exhibit "A" and sealed. The court directed that these minutes be retained on the court file. Further, the solicitor for the husband was ordered to engross the minutes and electronically deliver them to the Associate within seven days. Crucially, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), the court directed that a Fact Sheet be attached to the orders, detailing the obligations created, the consequences of contravention, and information on available assistance for compliance.
