Overview
- The Vestre Landsret in Viborg upheld a Sønderborg decision removing Christina Block’s custody and contact rights and awarding sole custody to the father, Stephan Hensel.
- The court declined a fresh child‑psychological assessment, saying another evaluation would harm the children, and it found no evidence of parental alienation by Hensel.
- Judges relied on records from 2024–2025 and reports that the children repeatedly expressed they do not want contact with their mother.
- The children remain in Denmark with protective measures, including new identities and an undisclosed location.
- Block denies wrongdoing in a separate Hamburg criminal case over the 2023/24 New Year abduction allegations and says she will pursue further legal remedies, potentially up to the European Court of Human Rights.
