CaseChat Overview and Summary
In *Wordsworth & Wordsworth*, heard by Judge Betts, the dispute concerned parenting arrangements for two children, X (born 2009) and Y (born 2013), and the division of property. The court was required to make orders regarding the children's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and school enrolment, as well as address property proceedings.
The court determined that the parties should have equal shared parental responsibility for the children. This was to be implemented through a week-about shared care arrangement, with changeovers occurring at 9 am or the commencement of school each Monday. Specific orders were made for the division of time during school holidays, including Christmas and birthdays, with provisions for proximity to the City B Post Office. The court also made orders for the children to spend time with each parent on Father's Day and Mother's Day respectively.
Furthermore, the court issued an injunction restraining the mother from unenrolling the children from B School without the father's prior written consent. Outstanding costs applications related to the parenting aspect were reserved, and the property proceedings were adjourned for directions.
