Questão jurídica principal
Whether the father was unlawfully denied personal contact and whether the case had to be reassessed under the child’s welfare standard.
Decisão extraída
The refusal of the requested broad visitation was upheld, but the complete denial of personal contact could not stand because the lower court failed to examine whether limited or supervised contact would be compatible with the child’s welfare.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that child welfare governs contact rights, that complete denial is exceptional, and that the lower court had improperly left the organization of supervised visits to the guardian instead of determining the scope and modalities itself.
