The father had the right to appear at the hearing and be represented by an attorney. Then he had the right to dispute the charges and his attorney would have helped him insist the mother provide compelling evidence to support the charges. That's the purpose of a court hearing. The judge hears all the evidence and arguments and then issues a ruling that becomes the court order. If the father chose not to participate the judge didn't have the benefit of his side of the story. Remember, you need to appear in court to participate in the hearing when the situation involves you. It is much more difficult to wait and complain about the outcome.
There may be a short appeal period after the ruling. The father needs to inquire at the court to see if the ruling can be appealed. Also, he should consult with an attorney if he hasn't done so already.
