Key legal question
Whether overnight contact with the father should be postponed pending further psychiatric assessment
Extracted holding
No. The court found no sufficient reasons to delay overnight stays and held that the child’s welfare allowed expansion of contact to include nights.
Extracted reasoning
The father had gained parenting experience through regular visits, had been living independently for months, and the main problem was the parents’ conflict rather than his caregiving capacity. The guardian could monitor contact and intervene if necessary.
