High Court, on appeal from the Circuit Family Court, orders that a young boy should remain with his father in the UK, with structured access to his mother. The Circuit Court had transferred custody due to concerns about the mother's obstruction of access, which posed a risk to the child's welfare. The appeal, brought by the mother, was denied as the court emphasized the child's best interests, including his psychological well-being and the need for stable relationships with both parents. The court also ordered ongoing reviews to ensure the child's continued access to his mother and to evaluate the possibility of unsupervised visits.
