Custody Transfer Review Based on Child Welfare Assessment

Custody Transfer Review Based on Child Welfare Assessment: A petitioner sought judicial review of a decision that effectively transferred custody of a child from the petitioner to the welfare authority, arguing the transfer was based on insufficient evidence and a flawed assessment of the child's best interests, particularly regarding the continuing need for the imposed measures; the court reasoned that the lower courts had correctly determined, based on expert findings and the evolving needs of the child, that the continuation of supportive measures and the resulting change in custody were necessary and proportionate for the child's well-being, thus dismissing the appeal.
