We have already reported on this website about the ruling of the Prague-East Court of Justice of 15 March 2024, by which Judge Lucie Řezáčová deprived a caring and loving mother of the possibility to raise her two young children (4.5 and 6.5 years old), by de facto entrusting them to the exclusive care of their father. He will have custody of them for 26 days in a 35-day cycle, while the mother will only have custody for 9 days, i.e. 3 extended weekends.
The social worker (OSPOD Brandýs n. L.) also found this verdict insufficient and initially proposed exemplary punishment for the mother (who left a toxic environment with the children due to domestic violence). Namely - the mother would be allowed to have contact with her children once every 14 days from Thursday to Sunday and the following week 1-2 hours on a single weekday. The court softened the verdict somewhat, calling it, in a charming way, "alternating asymmetrical custody".
