Thompson and Alben

This matter concerned parenting orders made by Judge Altobelli in relation to the child [X]. The dispute between the parents, the Applicant and the Respondent, involved the arrangements for the child's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and various other welfare and communication matters.

The court was required to determine the specific terms of parenting orders, including the allocation of parental responsibility, the child's living arrangements, and the schedule for the child to spend time with each parent. Additionally, the court addressed issues concerning the child's exposure to inappropriate material, social media use, international travel, and communication between parents and with the child.

Judge Altobelli made orders for equal shared parental responsibility, with the child to live with the Mother. The Father was granted specific time with the child, including alternate weekends during school terms, half of each school holiday period, and certain public holidays. The orders also included provisions for the Father to ensure adequate bedding, for both parents to monitor the child's social media use and prevent passive smoking, and for the Father to ensure the child attends sporting commitments. The court also imposed restraints on both parents regarding negative comments about each other, discussions of proceedings in the child's presence, and the removal of the child from Australia. Further orders were made concerning international travel notification, access to school and health records, telephone communication initiated by the child, and attendance at extracurricular activities.
