Article summary

Family analysis: Richard Jones, barrister at 1GC Family Law, and Helen Fitzsimons, solicitor at Helen Fitzsimons Family Law, examine the Family Division's decision that it was in the best interests of a child to reside with his father, on the basis that the mother had alienated the child from the father and that transferring the child’s residence to the father was the only way he would be able to have a meaningful relationship with both parents.
