Wold and Kleppir (No 5)

This matter concerned parenting orders made by Barry J in the Family Court of Australia. The proceedings involved the parents, identified as Wold and Kleppir, and concerned the care arrangements for their two children, J and L.

The court was required to determine the living arrangements for the children, the allocation of parental responsibility, and the specific times the Father would spend with the children. Additionally, the court addressed the need for both parents to undertake parenting courses and for the Father to engage in counselling and an anger management program. The orders also stipulated provisions for communication between the parents and children, schooling, and the exchange of information regarding the children's welfare.

Barry J ordered that the children live with the Mother and that both parents share equal, joint parental responsibility for their long-term and short-term care. The Father's time with the children was structured, with initial arrangements for alternate weekends and provisions for increased time upon completion of specified programs. The orders also included detailed stipulations regarding school holidays, telephone contact, and the exchange of information relevant to the children's education and healthcare. The court also noted that particulars of obligations and consequences of contravention were annexed to the orders, and an application by the Mother concerning contempt was adjourned.
