The respondent's conduct, including emotional manipulation, threats, unreasonable demands, and persistent behaviour, amounted to emotional abuse, coercive and controlling behaviour under the Domestic Abuse Act 2021, justifying the continuation of the non-molestation order and influencing child arrangements.
Source excerpt
The judge erred in excluding the mother's allegations of domestic abuse and coercive control from consideration in determining the child's welfare, failed to provide adequate reasons for departing from the social worker's recommendations for equal time, and wrongly made a Specific Issue Order regarding PRIDE week attendance without sufficient justification. These errors materially affected the welfare decision and require the matter to be remitted for rehearing.
