    FCMC4999/2014

    Applying the paramount welfare principle and on the evidence (including Social Welfare Officer recommendation and specialist reports), the court found both parents loving and capable but conflicted; there was insufficient basis to vary the existing week on/week off shared care during term time. The fathers criticisms did not justify transfer of ultimate care; instead directions to manage medical communications and appointment of a parental co-ordinator were required to protect the childrens interests.
