The court addressed the parties' inability to agree on an expert to prepare a Voice of the Child (VOC) Report for their 14-year-old son, Kent, as previously ordered.
After considering submissions from both the applicant mother and respondent father, the court appointed Janet Claridge, a neutral third-party expert, to prepare the VOC report.
The decision emphasized the importance of expert neutrality, rejecting candidates with prior involvement in the family's case due to potential bias.
The parties were ordered to equally share the costs of the report.
