Rejected petition Active Fathers to be given the right to Joint Custody

All Dads should have the right to Joint Custody or Weekly Overnight Visits. Dads That can provide a safe space and environment should have the right if it's logistically and practically viable.Dads should have history of Financial and emotional support for this to be viable. As well as a close bond.

More details

Mothers are not superior when raising children. Dads need the rights to reflect this. I find it difficult to speak to my Ex about arrangements.When my ex and I first split I had my boys every weekend. Since then my Ex has changed her mind and doesn't allow me to see my children as often as I feel is necessary to maintain the bond I have grown with my boys. Equal Custody rights is the norm in some countries. this would also allow Single mothers the opportunity to get back into employment.
