content: Fully agree. He was specifically trying to do the right thing, and occasionally slipped up. His actions are not equivalent to hers. It's clear from the facts that if he did what she wanted and completely left his daughter's life, she would have continued her emotional abuse. He wasn't around on all the days she insisted on coming onto school grounds unannounced, prompting the principal to threaten legal action against her. He also wasn't involved in some of the cases where teachers raised flags with CAS because of her needy behaviour. Even in attacking "the parents" for the drawn out court case, the judge acknowledged 15 damning behaviours that put the ex-wife right at the threshold of bad faith including repeatedly lying to the court. The husband was meanwhile criticised for not following a minor procedure that could have reduced the trial time. I feel like the way the case was written may be to at least pretend to try to show impartiality in the face of overwhelming evidence to make it more difficult to file an appeal. The ex-wife claimed literally everyone was in a huge conspiracy against her -- teachers, CAS, the police, the courts, therapists.... Saying explicitly "this is all on the wife" would have fed her paranoid delusions.
