Given the paramountcy of the child's welfare, the court found joint custody appropriate to encourage parental cooperation and ensure one parent in Hong Kong can make urgent decisions; care and control allocated to the mother because no care/control dispute existed; access was structured to reflect current flight schedules and child's age; restraining order against mother was dismissed as unmeritorious; court lacked jurisdiction to change foreign birth registration but directed amendment steps and fee liability; maintenance fixed at HK$3,500 monthly to share child's demonstrated expenses.
