The appeal is dismissed because the Family Court did not err in principle or exercise of discretion: the court-appointed psychologist's evidence and the record established that the father's conduct and failure to pursue counselling and appropriate supervised contact posed a material emotional risk to the child; the father effectively elected not to pursue the interim regime and therapy, and a final supervised-access order with conditions was necessary and proportionate to protect the child's welfare and provide finality.
