Children Contact News
A recent case in the Court of Appeal related to whether a child should have contact with the non-residing parent. In Re C (Direct Contact: Suspension) [2011] EWCA Civ 521 it confirmed the initial decision to suspend contact was correct. The court confirmed that it was in the child’s best interests to withhold contact to try to ensure that contact would work in the long run. Once again, the case demonstrates the courts’ determination to prioritise the child’s needs over the parent’s.
