Yep. Remember, the court doesn't know about Paul, Grace and anything 
else about the case that we do. All the court knows is:
 - One child
 - Two parents
 - Each parent wants custody

It sucks, but at least paul seems to have found a lawyer who's cutting 
him a break: My friend with the similar case is spending *way* more 
than six thousand dollars, and his case doesn't cross international 
borders.
