TM v GL [2026] EWFC 24 (B) (02 February 2026)
The court made a sole lives-with-mother order for Faith, set detailed father-contact conditions tied to stable accommodation, imposed a 12-month s.91(14) bar, and awarded mother costs.
B v C & Anor [2026] EWFC 66 (B) (28 January 2026)
The Family Court found the mother breached a child arrangements order without reasonable excuse, but made no enforcement or welfare order, applying the child's welfare and no order principle.
The Family Court found Michael Fuchs in contempt for breaching a preservation order by selling ML1. Sentencing was adjourned, while a second alleged breach was rejected.
The court found that the Mother breached the previous child arrangements order but had reasonable excuse due to trauma, harassment, and professional recommendations. Direct contact would cause harm to the child and Mother; indirect contact is in the child's best interests. Prohibited steps and section 91(14) orders are justified to protect welfare. Overriding parental responsibility is disproportionate and not warranted.

Financial remedies decision on divorce: the court valued business interests, rejected a minority discount, addressed sham trust tax exposure, and ordered staged lump sums and sale of the family home.
F v M (Rev1) [2025] EWFC 210 (B) (05 June 2025)
The Family Court varied contact to indirect-only, refused enforcement, granted a prohibited steps order and a section 91(14) order, and rejected override of parental responsibility.
The husband's additional payments for health insurance, dental plan, and mobile phone offset any technical breach regarding RPI arrears; wife's application for enforcement is dismissed. The wife's reasonable income needs are assessed at £3,000 per month, and from April 2025, the husband is ordered to pay £1,000 per month to cover the shortfall after accounting for pension and notional solar farm income. Clean break principle is encouraged via capitalisation.
Source excerpt
Permission to appeal is granted on the grounds that there are significant questions about the propriety and utility of ongoing Children Act 1989 proceedings in this jurisdiction while a Hague Convention 1980 application for return is available and likely more effective. The appeal has a real prospect of success on the grounds of improper application of the Children Act in place of the Hague Convention and failure to consider the practicalities of enforcing the return order.
