Mother's Car Accident Leads to Custody Battle Over Children's Fear of Father
The case involves a custody battle over two children between their mother and father, with the children expressing fear of their father. Despite attempts to encourage the children to spend time with their father, their views did not change, and the matter was moved to the Family Court of Australia. The court ultimately awarded the mother sole parental responsibility for the children but required her to ensure that the father's contact details were displayed in the children's bedrooms and that he was allowed to send them cards, gifts, photos, and other written communications. The parents were also ordered not to denigrate each other in the presence of or hearing of the children.
