Overview
- Vestre Landsret issued a final-instance decision granting sole custody to father Stephan Hensel and removing Christina Block’s custody and visitation rights.
- Judges said the children, aged 15 and 11, are severely traumatized and have repeatedly stated they do not wish to see their mother.
- The court cited security measures, including protected identities and a concealed address, as factors making contact unreasonable at this time.
- A request for a fresh psychological assessment was rejected as harmful, with the court relying on extensive 2024–2025 records and finding no evidence of parental alienation by the father.
- Block denies wrongdoing, criticizes the decision, says she will pursue further legal avenues including the European Court of Human Rights, and separately faces trial in Hamburg over an alleged New Year 2023/24 abduction she denies.
