    On interim evidence including the single joint expert and social investigation reports indicating the father’s denigration of the mother and risk of parental alienation, and applying the paramountcy of the child's best interests together with statutory custody rules for an illegitimate child, the court granted interim care and control to the mother and ordered a specific access regime for the father while refusing appointment of the wife as guardian.
