The respondent father brought a motion to find the applicant mother in contempt of court for failing to return their daughter to his primary care as required by a final order.
The child had refused to return to the father's home after a summer visit with the mother.
The court dismissed the contempt motion, finding that while the mother breached the order by not returning the child, her conduct was not willful beyond a reasonable doubt because she had done all she reasonably could to encourage the child to return.
