Vossen and Vossen (No 2)

This matter concerned orders made by consent between the Father and the Mother regarding the time the Children would spend with the Father, including during school holidays and on special occasions. The orders also addressed communication between the parents and the Children, international travel arrangements for the Mother, and various general provisions concerning the Children's welfare and the parties' conduct.

The court was required to determine the specific arrangements for the Children's time with the Father, including detailed schedules for school holidays and special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas. Further issues included the conditions under which the Mother could travel internationally with the Children, provisions for communication between the Children and each parent, and the supervision of the Children's time with the Father. The court also needed to address general orders concerning the parties' conduct, including prohibitions on denigration and the involvement of the Children in parenting arrangements, as well as medical and educational information sharing.

The court made orders by consent, establishing a detailed schedule for the Children's time with the Father during school holidays and on specific special occasions, with provisions for alternating years and specific times on particular days. These arrangements were to be supervised by an accredited independent agency chosen by the Father, who would bear the costs of supervision. The orders also permitted the Mother to travel internationally with the Children under specific notice and consent conditions, and outlined requirements for maintaining passports. General orders included provisions for communication, notification of medical emergencies and school activities, and restrictions on enrolling the Children in extracurricular activities during the other parent's time. Notably, the Mother was granted the ability to suspend the Children's time with the Father during school holidays for fourteen consecutive days annually, with prior notice.
