Applying the paramount welfare principle and giving weight to the status quo and social welfare recommendations, the court found the mother to be the more suitable primary carer, accepted evidence of the husband's disproportionate corporal punishment as creating risk, and therefore awarded sole custody and care and control to the mother while providing defined, supervised access to the father twice monthly for twelve months and refusing general leave to remove the children from Hong Kong.
