Radley and Simson

This matter concerned the parenting arrangements for a child, X, born in 2014, between the mother and the father. The proceedings were before Berman J.

The court was required to determine the orders concerning the parental responsibility for the child, the living arrangements for the child, and the time the child would spend with each parent. This included detailed provisions for regular time, school holidays, special days such as birthdays and Christmas, and arrangements for overseas travel and communication between the parents.

Berman J ordered that the parties have equal shared parental responsibility for the child. The child was to live with the mother, and specific arrangements were made for the child to spend time with the father, including alternate weekends, half of each school holiday period, and specific times on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and the child's birthday. Further orders addressed the Christmas period, the exchange of information regarding the child's health and education, overseas travel, and communication protocols between the parents.
