Amid marital discord, the mother heavily tutored the 5-year-old minor daughter to level false sexual abuse allegations against the father in an attempt to deny him custody and contact.
The High Court held that using a minor child as a pawn in a matrimonial dispute and tutoring the child to make heinous false allegations demonstrates that the child's welfare will be compromised in the mother's custody, warranting immediate transfer of custody to the father.
