Williams and Robb

The case of *Williams and Robb* concerned an application for final orders regarding the time a child would spend with the husband. The dispute centred on the specific arrangements for the child's contact with the husband, including the frequency, duration, and location of changeovers, as well as provisions for notice of inability to attend scheduled time and the husband's responsibilities regarding the child's extra-curricular activities. The matter was before the court for determination of these parenting arrangements.

The court was required to determine the terms of the final parenting orders, specifically addressing the practicalities of the child's time with the husband. This included establishing a clear schedule for alternate weekend contact, with provisions for public holidays and pupil-free days. Further issues for determination involved the locations for changeovers between the parents, the notice period required for any inability of the husband to exercise his time with the child, and the husband's obligations concerning the child's participation in extra-curricular activities.

The court made orders establishing a pattern of alternate weekend contact for the husband, commencing on a specified date and subject to existing provisions for school holidays. The orders detailed specific locations for changeovers, differentiating between school days and other occasions, and requiring the husband to inform the wife of the changeover location in advance. A requirement was imposed on the husband to provide at least 28 days' notice of any known inability to have the children at a scheduled time, or as soon as possible in other circumstances. Finally, the husband was ordered to use his best endeavours to ensure the child's attendance at extra-curricular activities, provided these did not conflict with pre-planned holidays away from his residences.
