Salt and Salt

In the matter of *Salt and Salt*, heard by Gill J, the dispute concerned parenting orders for a child born in 2014. The proceedings involved an application by the Mother for sole parental responsibility and for the child to live with her, with specific arrangements for the Father's time with the child.

The court was required to determine the most appropriate parenting arrangements for the child, specifically addressing issues of parental responsibility, the child's residence, and the nature and extent of the Father's time with the child, including the necessity and conditions of supervision.

Gill J ordered that the Mother have sole parental responsibility for the child, with the child to live with her. However, the Mother was directed to inform the Father of any major long-term decisions concerning the child's health, education, or religion as soon as practicable. The Father was granted supervised time with the child for up to three hours on four separate occasions each calendar year, to be supervised by Z Contact Centre or an equivalent agency. The specific dates and times for this contact were to be agreed upon, failing which they would occur on the second Saturday of March, June, September, and December from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. The Father was ordered to bear the costs of this supervision.
