Sully and Sully (No. 2)

In the matter of *Sully and Sully (No. 2)*, Gill J considered parenting orders concerning four children, J, Q, N, and O. The dispute involved the arrangements for the children's living arrangements, parental responsibility, and communication between the children and their parents.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders for equal shared parental responsibility, the specific living arrangements for each child, provisions for communication between the children and the non-resident parent, arrangements for changeovers, overseas travel with the children, notification of medical treatment, and the holding and management of the children's passports.

Gill J ordered that the Independent Children's Lawyer be discharged and that both parties share equally the costs of the Independent Children's Lawyer. All previous parenting orders were discharged. The court made orders for equal shared parental responsibility for all four children. J will live with the father and mother according to his wishes. The children Q, N, and O will live with the parties on a shared basis during school terms, with specific overnight arrangements detailed. The orders also set out detailed alternating arrangements for the children during school holiday periods, including provisions for communication, changeovers, overseas travel, and notification of medical matters. The passports of the children are to be held by the Registrar of the Court and released upon written agreement of both parents.
