Walmsley and Walmsley (No 4)

The proceedings before Strickland J involved a dispute between a husband and wife concerning interim parenting and property orders. The husband had filed an Application in a Case on 9 October 2009, and the wife had filed a Response on 2 November 2009.

The court was required to determine various issues relating to the interim care of the children and the management and disposition of certain property. Specifically, the court considered the dismissal of certain paragraphs from the husband's application concerning children's and financial issues, and the wife's response which included consent orders regarding children's access arrangements and financial matters.

The court made orders by consent in relation to the children's issues, establishing protocols for illness during access visits, facilitating communication between children and the wife, and outlining specific access arrangements for Christmas Day. Consent orders were also made regarding financial issues, including the dismissal of previous orders, the return of property keys, the wife's ability to repair and re-tenant a property, and the disposition of two vehicles. Certain applications and paragraphs were dismissed, while others were adjourned for further consideration. The court also noted that particulars of obligations and consequences of contravention of the orders were set out in an attached Fact Sheet, pursuant to sections 62B and 65DA(2) of the *Family Law Act 1975*.
