SYMS & SYMS

In the matter of SYMS & SYMS, Cleary J made orders concerning the living arrangements and time spent with the children X, Y, and Z. The dispute concerned the children's residence and contact with their father.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of the children's living arrangements and the extent and nature of the father's time with them. This included establishing conditions for supervised contact, communication between the parents and children, and the involvement of professionals in the children's lives. The court also addressed the need for parents to refrain from denigrating each other in the children's presence and to manage the children's medical and educational information.

Cleary J made orders that the children live with the mother and spend time with the father under the supervision of the paternal aunt or another agreed person. These orders stipulated specific times and locations for contact, including provisions for communication via social media and a prohibition on discussing the proceedings or denigrating the other party in the children's presence. The court also made orders regarding the conclusion of existing counselling, the engagement of a psychologist for the children with mutual information sharing, and the requirement for consent for further psychological or therapeutic attendance. Furthermore, provisions were made for notification of medical emergencies and the sharing of educational reports. The matter was adjourned for case management.
