Seales and Pacillo

This matter concerned parenting orders made by Justice Rose in relation to the child L. The dispute involved the mother and the father, and the court was required to determine the arrangements for the child's living situation, parental responsibility, and time spent with each parent.

The court was tasked with determining the specific orders regarding the child's residence, the allocation of parental responsibility, and the schedule for the father's time with the child. Additionally, the court needed to address provisions for communication between the father and the child, the management of the child's participation in extracurricular activities, and the exchange of information regarding the child's schooling and health. The court also considered orders aimed at fostering a respectful co-parenting relationship.

Justice Rose ordered that all existing parenting orders be discharged. The mother was granted sole parental responsibility and the child was to live with her. The father was required to complete an anger management program, with specific details to be provided by an independent children's lawyer. The father's time with the child was significantly restricted until he complied with the anger management order, with a phased approach to increasing his time thereafter. The orders also detailed arrangements for extracurricular activities, communication, and the exchange of information, including a specific restraint on denigrating the other parent in the child's presence.
