Vasil and Vasil (No 2)

In *Vasil and Vasil (No 2)*, Berman J considered parenting arrangements for a child and property discovery orders. The dispute involved the father's belief that the child had been coached by the mother and her family regarding her views on spending time with him, while the mother sought for the father and child to arrange their own time together. The court also addressed the need for specific financial documents to enable a single expert to value the mother's interest in various entities.

The primary legal issues before the court were the determination of appropriate parenting orders, specifically concerning the child's time with each parent, and the provision of necessary financial documents for property settlement. The court was required to consider the child's expressed views, her maturity, and the father's allegations of undue influence, alongside the practical requirements for property valuation.

Berman J discharged previous parenting orders and made new orders for equal shared parental responsibility, with the child to live with the mother. The child was to spend time with the father on alternate Saturdays and intervening Mondays after school, with further time subject to the child's wishes and an agreement for the father to attend the child's sports activities. Specific provisions were made for public holidays and the child's birthday. The court also ordered the parties to produce specified financial statements and documents to a single expert within sixty days to facilitate the valuation of the mother's interests in various entities.
