"I have had a holiday, and I'd like to take it up
professionally"
Kylie Minogue
In 2006, amendments were made to the Family Law Act
1975 that required (amongst other things) the Courts to
consider if parents should have equal shared parental
responsibility for their children, and if so, whether they should
have equal time, and if not, whether one parent should have
significant and substantial time.
Significant and substantial time is defined in section 65DAA(3)
of the Act as being time that allows a child to spend time with a
parent on both weekends and holidays and days during the school
week. It is time which enables a parent to be involved in a
child's daily routine and on occasions and events which are of
particular significance.
