High Court revises the child arrangement schedule to better reflect the children's best interests, considering the parents' proximity and the father's permanent relocation to Ireland. The court decided against a week on/week off arrangement, instead opting for a schedule that includes every second weekend and mid-week overnights, with the aim of minimizing disruption and addressing the children's current levels of anxiety. The court also ordered that only one child continue play therapy, with the other to attend only if referred by a GP. The court encouraged both parents to seek facilitation assistance to improve their post-separation relationship for the benefit of the children.
