The applicant father sought primary residence of the parties' two children, or in the alternative, specified parenting time and authority for counselling for one child.
The respondent mother opposed, citing a history of domestic violence and alleging the children were negatively impacted.
The court noted serious parental conflict, allegations of domestic violence, and gatekeeping.
While not conclusively determining alienation, the court emphasized the need for quick action where alienation is suspected.
The court made temporary orders granting the mother primary residence and sole medical decision-making, and the father specified parenting time with one child (JS) under certain conditions.
No order was made for parenting time with the older child (AS) but it was encouraged.
The parties were ordered to engage a specific child psychologist for therapeutic treatment, with costs shared.
The court also issued orders regarding communication, recording, and social media use, and declined to award costs due to both parties exceeding practice direction limits.
