Yu and Morris

This matter concerned parenting orders made by Justice Rose in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The dispute involved the arrangements for the child of the relationship, born in April 1999, between the mother and the father. The court was required to determine the specific terms of shared parental responsibility and the practical arrangements for the child's living arrangements, time spent with each parent, and communication.

The court's reasoning is reflected in the detailed orders made. It established equal shared parental responsibility, mandating that the child live with the mother, subject to specific provisions for the child to spend time and communicate with the father. These provisions outlined a detailed schedule for alternate weekends, half of each school holiday period, specific Christmas arrangements, Father's Day, and the child's birthday. The orders also included provisions for the mother to have similar time on Mother's Day and for communication between the child and each parent when the child was in the other parent's care.

Further orders addressed practical matters such as the place of changeovers, notification of illness or injury, and the father's access to school reports. The court also made directions regarding the return of subpoenaed documents and the removal of the proceedings from the Active Pending Cases List.
