Applying the paramount welfare principle, the court awarded sole custody, care, control and guardianship (with limited exceptions) to the mother because the child was settled and well‑adjusted in Malaysia under the mother's care, the parents' relationship was acrimonious and the father resides abroad, making joint custody/guardianship impracticable; the father was granted specified access including unlimited virtual contact and unsupervised overnight access subject to notice and holiday arrangements.
