Closed petition Give parents automatic rights to equal contact with children after separation

Closed on

Parents should have automatic legal rights to 50/50 shared care of their children without needing to take this to court. Where child arrangements are disputed lengthy and costly legal actions are often needed to secure access to children. This should change.
