Wiverman and Anor and Wiverman and Anor

The parties in this matter were the Wivermans, referred to as the grandparents, and their children, also referred to as the Wivermans. The dispute concerned parenting arrangements, and the decision was made by Cronin J in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

The court was required to determine the parenting orders to be made in relation to the children. This involved considering the best interests of the children and the terms of any agreed parenting arrangements.

Cronin J made orders by consent in accordance with minutes of proposed orders. These minutes were marked as Exhibit "A", sealed, and attached to the court's decision, with directions for their retention on the court file. The court also directed that the solicitor for the grandparents engross the minutes and deliver them electronically to the Associate within seven days. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the relevant legislation, the court ordered that particulars of the obligations created by these orders, the consequences of contravention, and details of assistance available to the parties be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which was to be included as part of the orders.
