This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The child’s mother, father or anyone with parental responsibility can apply for a court order relating to where a child lives, when a child spends time with each parent, and when and what other types of contact take place (phone calls, for example). Decisions about what arrangements to order are a matter for the courts.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
