Re H (A Child: Domestic Abuse) [2024] EWCA Civ 326

Appeal by father against an order for no direct contact is dismissed. Prior to the decision under appeal the father had been having regular, supervised contact with the child. This decision highlights the fine balance between upholding direct contact and preserving the stability of the placement of the child with the primary carer in the context of a relationship marked by Domestic Abuse and volatility.
