Tipper and Todd (No.2)

In *Tipper and Todd (No.2)*, Judge Scarlett considered parenting orders concerning the child [X]. The dispute involved the mother and father's respective roles and responsibilities in relation to their child, with the court tasked with determining the most appropriate arrangements for the child's welfare.

The court was required to determine the nature of parental responsibility, the living arrangements for the child, and the specific time the child would spend with each parent. Additionally, the court had to consider provisions for the child's education, the parents' communication and information sharing obligations, and measures to ensure the child's well-being and protection from parental conflict.

Judge Scarlett discharged all previous parenting orders except for specific earlier orders, establishing new arrangements for equal shared parental responsibility. The child was ordered to live with the father, with the mother to have progressively increasing periods of time with the child. The orders also mandated the child's continued attendance at family day care, required the parents to ensure their contact details were recorded at the centre, and stipulated that the mother consult her medical practitioner regarding her mental health. Further provisions addressed the collection and return of the child, the exchange of information regarding the child's health and welfare, communication protocols between the parents, and the obligation to keep each other informed of address and contact details. Crucially, both parents were ordered not to make derogatory remarks about the other in the child's presence.
