Walsh and Walsh

In the matter of *Walsh and Walsh*, Foster J considered parenting orders concerning three children. The dispute involved the arrangements for the children's living situation and time spent with each parent.

The court was required to determine the most appropriate parenting orders for the children, considering their welfare and best interests. This involved deciding on issues of parental responsibility, living arrangements, and the specific times the children would spend with each parent, including during school terms, holidays, and significant family occasions.

Foster J discharged all previous parenting orders and made new orders granting the mother sole parental responsibility and sole residency for the children. The father was granted specific, detailed periods of time with the children, including alternate weekends, mid-week visits, and allocated holiday periods, with provisions for Father's Day and Mother's Day. The father was also permitted to attend significant occasions in the children's lives. The court also included particulars regarding contravention of the orders and the consequences thereof, as required by the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth).
