Walters and Brunton

In *Walters and Brunton*, heard before Cronin J, the dispute concerned parenting orders. The parties, identified as the husband and wife, reached an agreement regarding parenting arrangements, which was presented to the court for approval.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine the terms of the parenting orders by consent, and to ensure that these orders complied with the relevant provisions of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), specifically concerning the particulars of obligations, consequences of contravention, and assistance available to parties.

Cronin J made orders in accordance with the minutes of proposed orders agreed upon by the parties. These orders were made by consent and included directions for the engrossment and delivery of the minutes by the solicitors for both the husband and wife. The court also directed that all outstanding parenting proceedings be dismissed. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth), the court ordered that a Fact Sheet be attached to the orders, detailing the obligations created, the consequences of contravention, and information on who can assist parties in complying with the orders.
