Rejected petition Equal rights for GOOD fathers in Northern Ireland
We are looking for EQUAL rights for GOOD fathers in Northern Ireland !
For years fathers have been treated second best by courts , this needs to stop and fathers have to be treated as an equal party not a babysitter or somewhere the child visits ! Children deserve 50 % time with GOOD Dads !
More details
Courts / councils in Northern Ireland have to move with the times and realize that children have the right to live with dad 50% of the time ( due to broken relationships ) ! This will not be suitable with all broken relationships but if dad can offer the child / children the quality time and effort that mum can , the children and dad deserve this ! Children are treated like ponds in a game for so long this has to be passed by law now !
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This petition has been rejected because responsibility for justice issues in Northern Ireland has been devolved to the Northern Ireland Assembly. You may wish to consider contacting the Northern Ireland Assembly about this matter.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
