FM v MK

FM v MK

Contact between FM and the children would cause significant emotional, psychological, and physical harm to the mother and children, with no mechanism to reduce those risks due to FM's lack of insight and ongoing abusive behaviour. Revocation of FM's parental responsibility, a section 91(14) order, and a non-molestation order are necessary and proportionate to safeguard the welfare of the children and the mother.
