The pros and cons of the mother going to Spain
80.The pros are that P would in my judgment be afforded protection against future relapses in the mother’s mental health, which is the key risk emanating from her. She will have the support, practical, moral and emotional, of her extended family. I am satisfied, as I have said, they are a very close-knit family and that she has extremely good relations with them. 81.The cons of her going obviously relate to what would be inevitably a significant diminution in the father’s relationship with P. That is unavoidable if she goes and cannot be protected against. I have already found that she will promote contact. I consider the contact proposals to be realistic as a minimum given that there is travel to Spain involved. It is not known what the financial position for that is and whether the maternal or the paternal family can help the father who does not work and is reliant on benefits. Therefore, I see those proposals as being realistic and the best that can be achieved as a minimum and I stress as a minimum. 82.There is a risk of the mother continuing to use cannabis. I have already indicated that I consider the family can provide some protection against that risk. But I do not see that as being as great a risk as the risk of relapse, although it feeds into a potential relapse.
