Rejected petition Make it a criminal offence for mums stopping Dads see there kids.
More details
Make it a criminal offence for Mum's/Dad's (or either parent who has full time care of child/children) stopping the Dad/Mum from seeing there child/children after a separation or divorce.
They are a lot of parents who just cannot afford legal fee's involved in gaining access to see there child/children when they are working and also have to pay maintenance towards there child/children and do not get to see there child/children.
The system in place is wrong at this present time and to often it is the child/children who are suffering along with the absent parent by not seeing each other due to the other parent behaviour.
The Law needs changing.
