Wilde and Wilde (No. 2)

In *Wilde and Wilde (No. 2)*, Watts J considered parenting orders concerning a child born in August 1992. The dispute revolved around the arrangements for the child's residence, contact with each parent, and decision-making responsibilities.

The court was required to determine the living arrangements for the child, the extent of each parent's involvement in the child's daily life, and how significant decisions regarding the child's education, health, and long-term welfare would be made. Additionally, the court had to address issues of communication, travel, and the father's access to residences occupied by the mother.

Watts J ordered that all previous parenting orders be discharged. The child was to live with his mother, with contact with his father to be mutually convenient to both the child and the father. The father was directed to use his best endeavours to ensure the child informed the mother of intended or actual time spent with the father. The mother was granted sole responsibility for decisions relating to the child's education and health, with an obligation to inform the father by email of any significant decisions. For other long-term care, welfare, and development issues, the parties were to consult, with the court to make further orders if agreement could not be reached. Reasonable telephone contact and holiday location details were to be exchanged. The father was prohibited from entering any residence where the mother lived unless otherwise agreed in writing. Both parties were to facilitate the child obtaining a passport and consent to overseas travel with either parent for up to one month during school holidays, provided four months' notice was given. The orders incorporated a Fact Sheet detailing obligations, consequences of contravention, and sources of assistance.
