Osram and Osram

In the matter of Osram and Osram, heard before Judge Brown, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for two children, [X] and [Y]. The court was required to determine orders regarding where the children would live, the time they would spend with each parent, and measures to protect the children from the proceedings.

The court's reasoning focused on establishing a stable living arrangement for the children with the mother, including her liberty to re-enrol them at their primary school. It also set out specific arrangements for the children to spend time with their father, detailing alternate weekend contact, and periods during school holidays and Easter. Crucially, the court imposed an injunction restraining both parents from discussing the proceedings or their court appearances with the children, or permitting others to do so, to shield them from the impact of the litigation.

The orders made by the court included that the children live with the mother and spend time with the father on alternate weekends and during specified holiday periods. The father was to collect the children from school where possible, with exchanges to occur at a police station when school was not in session. The injunction preventing discussion of the proceedings with the children was granted, and a copy of the judgment was to be provided to the children's school principal. Further consideration of the matter was adjourned.
