In a high-conflict family law dispute, the Applicant father sought relief, including a contempt finding, against the Respondent mother for her persistent denial of access, non-compliance with court orders regarding passports and counselling, and actions that exposed the children to unnecessary police involvement.
The court, drawing on its extensive history with the file, found the mother's conduct amounted to parental alienation and was detrimental to the children's emotional well-being.
A temporary order was issued granting exclusive residence to the father and severely restricting the mother's access.
