The appeal was dismissed because Judge Coyle's findings that the mother had a history of unilateral actions and that significant parental hostility posed a real risk to the children's welfare were open on the evidence; the parenting orders struck the appropriate balance to maximise each child's opportunity to build relationships with both parents and siblings and to reduce conflict, and the child should be known by her registered name to avoid confusion.
