Custody, care and control were awarded to the mother because the paramount welfare of the children favored her: established close emotional bond, children's clear and unanimous wishes, the status quo of shared living was harmful, joint custody was impracticable given conflict and lack of communication; respondent ordered to vacate the home and to pay specified child maintenance; matrimonial assets divided 50/50 in principle with respondent's share secured by a charge over the wife's property payable when the children are independent; costs largely borne by respondent.
