    Citation
    [2024] HKFC 48
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC4026/2016

    Court found the father's application genuine and realistically researched, the social worker's report and the children’s expressed wishes supported feasibility, the mother had not meaningfully engaged with the children or rebutted the father's evidence on finances and care, and on a holistic welfare balancing exercise the children’s best interests favoured relocation; relocation was therefore permitted.

    KWFCJ v. SICL

    Citation
    [2020] HKFC 127
    Court
    Family Court
    Case number
    FCMC4500/2012

    The court found that the existing shared arrangement was not working and, balancing the Social Work Officer's recommendation, the child's expressed preference, the parties' practical caregiving arrangements and the psychologist's concerns, the child's welfare is best served by a shared care order with the child predominantly residing with the Father during weekdays; specific weekday handover times and minimum midweek contact with the Mother were ordered to preserve the Mother–child bond.
