Parmentier and Yates

In the matter of *Parmentier and Yates*, Rees J of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the living arrangements and time spent with a child, B, born in 2016. The dispute concerned the parental responsibilities and time arrangements for the child between the mother and the father.

The court was required to determine the specific orders for the child's residence and the father's time with the child, as well as the location for changeovers. Furthermore, the court was to ensure that the parties were informed of their obligations, the consequences of contravention, and available assistance, as mandated by sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).

Rees J ordered that the child B live with the mother and detailed specific periods for the child to spend time with the father, including mid-week, weekends, and annual holidays. Changeovers were to occur at a designated location. The court also incorporated a Fact Sheet into the orders, outlining the particulars of the obligations, potential consequences of contravention, and sources of assistance. The matter was not to be relisted until the parties demonstrated a genuine attempt at family dispute resolution or mediation.
