This matter concerned parenting and property orders made by Justice Mullane in the Family Court of Australia. The dispute involved the parents' children, B, E, A, and Y, and the division of their property.

The court was required to determine the parenting arrangements for the children, including where they would live, the time they would spend with each parent, and parental responsibility. Additionally, the court had to make orders regarding the division of the parties' property, specifically concerning a mortgage and the family home.

Justice Mullane made detailed parenting orders, discharging all prior orders and decreeing that the children would live with the mother. The father was granted specific time with the children during school vacations and on alternate weekends during school terms, with provisions for holidays and communication. The court also made orders regarding parental responsibility, the father's attendance at a parenting course, communication between parents, and various other matters concerning the children's welfare and the parents' conduct. In relation to property, the husband was ordered to pay a debt owed by the wife to his parents and to discharge the mortgage on the family home, receiving the wife's interest in exchange. If the husband failed to comply, the home was to be sold by public auction, with specific directions for the conduct of the sale and the distribution of proceeds.
