Sian Cox represented the mother in complex and lengthy private law proceedings. This judgment follows on from the fact finding judgment [2022] EWFC 124, in which she also appeared and a number of serious findings of coercive and controlling behaviour were made against the father. At the final hearing, Sian was able to secure significant protective orders for the mother, including lengthy s91A, restriction of parental rights, prohibited steps, and non-molestation orders.
