Applying the civil standard (balance of probabilities) and the welfare principle, the court found the alleged sexual and physical abuses were not proved, rejected the court‑appointed psychologist's risk assessment as insufficiently grounded in proven facts and tainted by failure to account for triangulation/coaching, accepted that the mother fabricated or coached the allegations to obtain custody advantage, and dismissed the variation application thereby restoring care and control to the father with supervised handover.
