ELEANOR HALL: To that Family Court decision on “shared care” that has stunned the father in the case and is being labelled extreme by some legal experts.

The Family Court banned the father of a five-year-old girl from seeing his daughter until she turns 18, ruling that “shared care” would not work.

The judge said the girl’s mother was determined to ignore any court orders and destroy the little girl’s relationship with the father.

Family law experts say the decision is extreme because the case itself was extreme.
