Zenabi and Zoulek

In the matter of *Zenabi and Zoulek*, heard by Hannam J, the dispute concerned the parental responsibility and living arrangements for three children. The mother sought sole parental responsibility and orders that the children live with her.

The court was required to determine the best interests of the children in relation to their future care and upbringing, specifically whether sole parental responsibility should be granted to the mother and whether the children should reside with her.

Hannam J considered the evidence presented and applied the principles of the *Family Law Act 1975* (Cth) concerning the best interests of the child. The court's decision reflected a determination that the mother should have sole parental responsibility and that the children should live with her.

Consequently, the court ordered that all previous orders be discharged, that the mother have sole parental responsibility for the children, and that the children live with the mother.
