Anne was successful in showing the court that there was no justification for contact to cease. Anne has also undertaken a number of emergency applications to the court for prohibited steps orders to prevent a parent from removing a child from the other parent’s care when serious concerns have been raised regarding the other parent’s care of the child or lifestyle.
