Tate and Garnet

This matter concerned parenting orders and property settlement between the Mother and the Father, with Judge Henderson presiding. The dispute involved the future care and living arrangements for the parties' two children, X and Y, and the division of their assets, specifically a property.

The court was required to determine the appropriate parenting orders for the children, considering the existing arrangements and the best interests of X and Y. This included deciding on parental responsibility, living arrangements, and the nature and extent of time the Father would spend with each child. Additionally, the court had to address the division of the parties' property, including the transfer of a specific property and the associated financial considerations.

Judge Henderson discharged all previous parenting orders and made new orders granting the Mother sole parental responsibility for both children, with the children to live with her. Time spent by X with the Father was to be arranged between them, while Y's time with the Father was significantly restricted and supervised, with provisions for termination of contact if certain conditions were met. The court also made orders regarding the children's access to an internet program, the provision of school reports to the Father, and prohibitions against denigrating the other parent or discussing proceedings in the children's presence. Furthermore, the court permitted the Mother to travel with the children internationally without the Father's consent and made orders for the transfer of a property from the Father to the Mother upon payment of $113,000, with detailed provisions for the execution of these orders and the sale of the property if payment was not made.
