Rejected petition Post breakup child residency based on parental suitability not recipe of benefit
All responsible parents to be given equal billing during relationship breakdown. Thus ensuring that children go to the best parent rather than the parent who is in receipt of Child Benefit. Thus preventing the resident parent from using their legal guardian status to foster parental alienation.
More details
All contested residencies should be based on basic duty of care stability, emotional welfare, educational support, fit and proper housing.
To prevent children futures being destroyed by parents whom use children as a weapon/financial safety net to cause parental alienation
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 Children Act 1989 already states that “When a court determines any question with respect to the upbringing of a child … the child’s welfare shall be the court’s paramount consideration”. We're therefore not sure what further action you'd like the UK Government and Parliament to take.
