When the ex-husband was invited to a family wedding, it seemed like a harmless chance for the children to enjoy extra time with their dad, a rare moment of joy amid the complexities of broken relationships.
But that joy quickly unraveled when a simple video capture ignited a fierce battle over privacy, control, and respect.
