    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMP184/2014

    Although the unilateral removal to Hong Kong was undesirable and not generally in children's best interests, the respondent had not engaged with the proceedings and her whereabouts and intentions were unknown. To avoid leaving the children in an untenable position pending any return or further application, the court exercised its discretion to grant interim joint custody with interim care and control to the Applicant, without prejudice to any application the Respondent may make for return of the children, and subject to interim access for the Respondent.
