Woodby and Joye

This matter concerned parenting orders made by consent between the Mother and Father regarding their three children. The proceedings were before Judge Young in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.

The court was required to determine the terms of consent parenting orders, including arrangements for equal shared parental responsibility, the children's living arrangements, and the time the children would spend with each parent. The orders also addressed communication between the parents, travel arrangements for the children, and prohibitions against denigrating each other in the children's presence or discussing court proceedings with them.

The court made orders by consent, discharging previous orders and establishing new arrangements. These included the children living with the Mother and spending time with the Father during school holidays and on specific days of significance. The orders also detailed communication protocols, travel permissions, and mutual restraints on denigration and discussing court proceedings with the children. The proceedings were adjourned for further directions, with requirements for the parties to provide submissions and a trial plan to the court.
