Viduka and Viduka

In the matter of *Viduka and Viduka*, Berman J considered orders concerning the parental responsibility and living arrangements for a child born in 2014. The dispute involved the parents' respective roles in the child's upbringing and the practical arrangements for the child's time with each parent.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders for equal shared parental responsibility, the primary residence of the child, and the specific time the child would spend with each parent. Additionally, the court addressed practical matters such as handover arrangements, the provision of information from the child's educational institution, and attendance at school events.

Berman J ordered that the parties have equal shared parental responsibility for the child. The child was to live with the father until further order, with specific provisions detailing the time the child would spend with the mother, including regular weekend and weekday contact, as well as arrangements for public holidays. The court also made orders regarding handover locations, requiring them to occur at the child's kindergarten or pre-school, or alternatively at a police station, with provisions for family member facilitation. Further orders mandated the father to provide the mother with details of the child's kindergarten and to authorise the release of information to her, and to list her as an emergency contact. Finally, the court granted both parents liberty to attend school events but imposed an injunction restraining them from approaching, assaulting, harassing, or denigrating each other on school grounds.
