Watson and Watson (No 2)

In *Watson and Watson (No 2)*, Dessau J considered orders relating to children and financial matters. The dispute concerned the parenting arrangements for two children, M and R, during school holidays and other periods, as well as the provision of financial documents to a valuer and the payment of costs.

The court was required to determine the specific times the husband would spend with the children during the 2010/2011 summer holidays, Easter 2011, and the June/July 2011 school term holiday. Additionally, the court needed to address road safety provisions for the children when travelling with the husband, a variation to existing changeover procedures, and the provision of financial documents to a single expert valuer. The court also had to consider the payment of costs.

Dessau J made detailed orders regarding the children's time with each parent, specifying exact dates and times for holiday periods. The court also imposed conditions on the husband concerning the safe transport of the children, including ensuring they were properly restrained and that the husband abided by all road rules. A procedural change was ordered regarding how the husband should alert the wife upon arrival for changeovers. Furthermore, the husband was ordered to provide specific financial documents to a valuer by a set date, and the ultimate payment of any updated valuations was reserved. The court also ordered the husband to pay the wife's costs of $3,000 for the applications heard.
