Judge orders that five-year-old girl must sleep over at father's home

Story here. For once, a judge (a female one too!) that seems to be pushing through the crap and making a sensible decision. Excerpt:

'A JUDGE hearing a dispute over access to a five-year-old child has said the girl should no longer sleep in the same room as her mother or half-sister, so that she is better prepared to stay overnight with her father with whom she has never lived.

The Family Court ordered the girl have overnight visits to her father from January even though a family consultant said in October that she would not be confident ''for some considerable time'' to stay overnight. Another psychologist had recommended the child be given ''no less than two years'' to adjust to sleepovers at her father's home.'

Two years??!!!! The article is relatively strong on the mother's reasons why this shouldn't happen, but it does add in a couple of points from the father near the end. But good news that at least one judge is doing the right thing.
