such a finding would btw probably not be public knowledge. It will just be "the judge decides based on report of X and Y that it's in the best interest of the children blablabla if children stay with Z parent". And since it's Alice that uses the press for PR it's unlikely that they would report the reasons as a exclusive if it doesnt reflect well on their informant.
I dont think that this will be the case though, typically the courts intensify therapy and the like in order to increase the possibility that the kids at some point respond to this sufficiently for the other parent to have custody, and then at some point they turn 18 anyway, and it just ends. Plenty custody cases fizzle away with no final result because of this. That's one reason why so many men just end up walking away as well.
So I personally wouldn't expect any custody decision anytime soon***, the rest of the divorce will certainly be resolved soon though. That's what the trial is for after all.
***unless Ioan voluntary gives up, which tbh was my impression he will if the evaluation concludes that it's not salvageable based on what his lawyer said, Alice will never give up because they are her little cash cows, she may constantly complain about being in courts for years, but in reality that's only the case because she doesn't want to share the kids, and thus the financial responsibility for them, she is perfectly fine with a long court case so long it means she doesn't have to work to survive, that's why she is the one who constantly blew off deadlines and postpones dates while Ioan wants to get them over ASAP. Ioan only fights because he knows that those kids are being screwed up, if his priority were his personal needs (e.g. spending time with them, using them for PR) he would have given in to Alice's and Ella's blackmail to come to the house etc. Of course he wants to spend time with them, but that's not his priority, his priority is them not being screwed up now and later in life. And I think that is great. Most parents are selfless, but the example of Alice shows that not everyone is.
perhaps, but it's not like they are in the minority.
AG is just mindlessly hating Ioan and Bianca. L is a fanatic Alice stan. They are pretty different. Plus we know who AG is already probably.
