Reynell and Cecil

In the matter of *Reynell and Cecil*, heard before Judge Burchardt, the dispute concerned the parental responsibility and living arrangements for two children. The mother sought sole parental responsibility and orders for the children to live with her, while the father's involvement was to be determined.

The court was required to determine the best interests of the children in relation to their parental responsibility and residence. Specifically, the court had to consider whether it was in the children's best interests for the mother to have sole parental responsibility and for them to reside with her, and what, if any, time the children should spend with the father.

Judge Burchardt ordered that the mother have sole parental responsibility for the children. The court further ordered that the children live with the mother. The father's time with the children was reserved, indicating that no specific time arrangements were made at this stage, but the possibility remained open for future determination.
