Perriera and Chandra

In *Perriera and Chandra*, Hogan J considered parenting and property matters between the parties. The dispute concerned the living arrangements for the children, B, C, and D, and the division of their assets and liabilities.

The court was required to determine the primary caregiver for the children and the allocation of parental responsibility for long-term decisions. Additionally, the court had to make orders regarding the division of property and the responsibility for debts incurred by each party.

Hogan J ordered that the children live with the father and that the father have sole parental responsibility for all major long-term issues, including education, religious and cultural upbringing, health, and living arrangements. The court also ordered that each party retain property and financial resources in their sole name or possession, with specific deeming provisions for bank accounts, insurance policies, and superannuation. Each party was also ordered to indemnify the other in respect of any debts incurred in their sole name. All previous parenting orders were discharged, outstanding applications were dismissed, and the matter was removed from the court's list. The orders also included a fact sheet detailing obligations, consequences of contravention, and sources of assistance, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
