Timmins and Zadrima

Cleary J made orders in parenting proceedings between the father, Mr Timmins, and the mother, Ms Zadrima, concerning their child, B. The dispute concerned the future living arrangements and parental responsibilities for B.

The court was required to determine the appropriate parenting orders for B, including issues of parental responsibility, living arrangements, and time spent between the child and each parent. The court also considered orders relating to communication, the prevention of denigration, and the provision of information regarding the child's health and education.

Cleary J discharged all previous parenting orders and made new orders. The father was granted sole parental responsibility and B was ordered to live with him. The mother was granted specific time with B during school terms and holidays, with detailed provisions for changeovers and communication. The orders also included restraints on corporal punishment and denigration of each parent and their extended families, and obligations for each parent to keep the other informed of the child's health and educational matters. The court also authorised the release of medical and school information to the mother.
