We have to cease Private Law, it is wasting resources in Family Law that should be allocated for the rearing of Children.
Misery and ruining lives should benefit no-one.

There will be a General Election in 2020, and a key question will be ... Which Political Party will get the 4,000,000 votes that will be available from marginalised Fathers, their Parents, their Friends and Siblings, plus the Children that will be able to vote as young Adults that were victims of Parental Alienation, all because of biased Divorce Proceedings. What impact will these votes have on marginal seats?

Californian, Kathy Murray, says she saved her marriage by giving up trying to control her husband.

Was Theresa May’s observation of the problems with Family Courts stymied by others, and that she really wants to help families, and most importantly the children, in a truly Gender Free environment. Who stifled her beliefs? Now as PM she can bring to bear her strong views as outlined in Bournemouth in October 2004. Unfortunately in Politics you have to be patient and there may be other forces at work to stop you attaining your reasonable goals. We look forward to the changes she wants.

This Women and Girl Focused Report shows how much influence Women’s Aid have upon the Government’s Policies and considerable Financial support offered to Women and Girl issues, totally ignoring the abuse that men and children suffer at the hands of women in the areas of both mental and physical abuse. It is generally accepted that 40 % of reported abuse is from men, and then that is a low figure because men do not come forward for fear of losing their children, home and jobs. The statistics are unrepresentative of what is really happening in Society.

Sensible Judges despair of Social Services support facilities.
Our question is this... What punitive action has been taken against those who have wasted the Court's times? Too frequently our courts believe the accuser and her support team. How many other children's lives have been ruined by false allegations against a father?

Jeremy Corbyn does not believe in Shared Parenting and strengthening a child's relationship with their grandparents. Many disagree because the decision concerning the Resident Parent is made by Courts on a ‘Balance of Probability’ and not upon forensic evidence. A man is deemed ‘Guilty’ unless he can prove his innocence from false allegations, and is not allowed to have a competent ability to counter them. This is grossly unjust and not in the spirit of making the needs of a child/children paramount.

From a Suffragents Follower: "I just wanted to share with you that I had massive win in the criminal court the other week for my children. I'd been assaulted by my wife last year and in doing so she broke the court order which was in place. ...

"Why are our courts so under the jackboot of SOME women????? Many men have to be LIP and now even McKenzie Friends are in danger because of The Law Society who will do a Pontious Pilate when a man commits suicide because he cannot cope and get a fair hearing. He will not have the money to pay for Solicitors, so he gives up!!!

Read what the family courts expect from parents asking for a court order. The courts consider that these guidelines apply to all children and all parents, no exceptions.

Why are secret Family Courts held in disrespect by those who come into contact with them and have no real ability to defend themselves? Where the needs of a mother in many cases exceeds the needs of the child, contrary to where the child’s needs are paramount.

Our results show that men are being marginalised during the divorce proceedings, view the results here. Our mission statement is to ensure that Legal Changes take place to reflect that Fathers and their children do have a right to bond and know one another. It is acknowledged that the children of fatherless homes are more at risk of not developing their full potential for future life.

The Men's Advisory Project, an organisation providing help for male victims of domestic abuse, say they have seen an increase in people asking for help. However, they still feel that there are not as many services in Northern Ireland available for men, as there are for women.

According to a press release from our Government, only women and girls can suffer as victims of coercive or controlling behaviour. Karen Bradley MP said, “No one should live in fear of domestic abuse, which is why this government has made ending violence against women and girls a priority." This is overt sexism. No wonder there is a breakdown in society and men feel marginalised.

From one of our Supporters: "Although my divorce was over a decade ago, I still shudder at the antiquated views of the family courts and even my own lawyers when I said that my young kids needed regular contact with me. So much so, that I have written a book about my life (as a novel, with a pen name) , in which I talk about the importance of family, kids needing both parents (and so much more)."

From Facebook Follower, Andy B: "... Reminding me of my time as a chorister and head chorister, of being homeless and of the Christmases I spent alone and on the streets. Missing my children, turfed out by a psychotic partner who was hooked on drink and drugs. Falsely accused, abused, on a piece of cardboard in a shop doorway or the local park shivering under a tree, heartbreaking and confused as to what I'd done to deserve it. Nothing. It was her. I've never spent a single Christmas with my youngest kids. ... Appreciate all you have this festive season ... My one wish would be to spend just one Christmas with ALL my children and loved ones under the same roof together laughing, singing having fun, the way it should have been."

South Wales Police are working in support of the White Ribbon Campaign of Eradicating Male Violence Against Women. But what about other victims? What about domestic violence against men? ALL violence should not be tolerated, and that includes against men and children.

When parents are asked about the essential needs of their children during and after parental separation, children's emotional, psychological, social, moral and spiritual needs are seen to be of paramount importance. But what exactly are these "metaphysical" needs? How do we establish a more precise definition of the "best interests of the child"?

There was an article in the Bedfordshire on Sunday that refers to a man who committed suicide and had a marriage breakdown, and the coroner put the suicide down to 'Too much Stress and drinking too much'. How much did the Coroner really understand about how a man feels when his marriage breaks down? Obviously, I am not party to any information about this Engineer's relationship or whether he had any kids, but the matter should have been investigated more thoroughly. 4,700 men gave up on life in the last year of records, and that is too many.

Frequently this is referred to as an alternative to using Solicitors, Barristers or QCs. Where a person is unable to generally fund a Legal Team they need to understand the protocols of being in a Family Court. Not having the time to learn ‘Legaleaze’ they will frequently use the services of a McKenzie Friend to advise them on procedural matters and how to present a case.

We have written a letter to our Prime Minister, expressing our distaste at how men are being marginalised in society and nearly 4,000,000 children are fatherless. This is not good for Society and its cohesion.
