Rejected petition Change the law for fathers rights to see their children.

Stop mothers from using children as a weapon to hurt the fathers. Children need both parents in their lives, providing neither parents are abuive

More details

I know to many fathers that have no access to see their children but have to pay excessive amounts of maintenance they can’t afford to live themselves.
There are to many fathers committing suicide because of these out dated laws. The government must realise these fathers must have as much rights as mothers on seeing their children.
