Vandijk and Vandijk

In the matter of *Vandijk and Vandijk*, heard before Gill J, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for a child, B, born in 2010. The court was tasked with determining the orders regarding B's residence and the time B would spend with each parent.

The central legal issue before the court was to establish a parenting arrangement that was in the best interests of the child, B. This involved considering the practicalities of residence and the allocation of time between the mother and the father.

Gill J ordered that B live with the mother. The court further ordered that B spend time with the father on a regular, shared basis, specifically from 4pm each Saturday until 4pm each Sunday, and from 4pm each Wednesday until 4pm each Thursday. The orders also included a provision for additional time to be spent with the father as otherwise agreed in writing between the parties.
