Overview

• The Danish family court in Sønderborg ruled on May 1, 2025, to strip Christina Block of custody and visitation rights for her two younger children, aged 11 and 14.
• The court determined the children’s preference to live with their father stemmed from conditions in Block's household, rejecting claims of parental alienation.
• German courts ceased jurisdiction over the custody dispute in February 2024, as the children’s habitual residence was established in Denmark.
• Block faces criminal charges in Germany for alleged involvement in the violent abduction of her children on New Year’s Eve 2023/24, which she denies.
• Her legal team has not disclosed whether she plans to appeal the Danish court's decision, which finalizes a years-long custody battle.
