Pascoe and O'Keefe and Anor

The case of *Pascoe and O'Keefe* involved a dispute between a mother, Ms Pascoe, and a father, Mr O'Keefe, concerning parenting arrangements for their child. The matter was heard by Gill J.

The court was required to determine the primary caregiver for the child, the extent of each parent's time with the child, and the nature of their ongoing responsibilities and communication. Additionally, the court needed to consider specific restrictions on the father's conduct and establish mechanisms for information sharing between the parents regarding the child's health, education, and general wellbeing.

Gill J ordered that the father have sole parental responsibility for the child and that the child live with him. The court outlined a detailed schedule for the child's time with the mother, including alternate weekends during school terms, specific periods during school holidays, and provisions for birthdays and Christmas. The father was also subject to an injunction preventing him from consuming alcohol while the child was in his household or being intoxicated in the child's presence. The court further mandated that both parents facilitate communication between the child and the other parent, refrain from denigrating each other, and share information regarding the child's health and education.
