If a Court has made an order for equal shared responsibility, the Court must then consider ordering 'equal time' or 'substantial and significant time'. This pathway is:
To consider if the child should live with each parent for equal time, provided this is reasonably practicable and in the child’s best interests. If this is not appropriate then
To consider whether the child should spend substantial and significant time (days falling on weekends and holidays and days not falling on weekends and holidays) with the parent with whom the child is not living, provided this is reasonably practicable and in the child’s best interests. If this is not appropriate then
To consider what time the child should spend with the parent with whom the child is not living would be in the child’s best interests.  Disputed parenting matters are difficult and quite often, the Court will order that evidence from experts from the Psychology or Social Science field be obtained (eg. a Family Report, a Psychiatric Assessment Report etc.)
