Rffj welcome the review of family law as pledged by the new coalition government The document states: We will encourage shared parenting from the earliest stages of pregnancy – including the promotion of a system of flexible parental leave. We will put funding for relationship support on a stable, long-term footing, and make sure that couples are given greater encouragement to use existing relationship support. We will conduct a comprehensive review of family law in order to increase the use of mediation when couples do break up, and to look at how best to provide greater access rights to non-resident parents and grandparents.
Rffj spokesman Mike Kelly said:
“This document is definitely a step in the right direct, after 5 years of Rffj protest and 3 years of talking to opposition MPs, it’s pleasing to see they have listened to the talks and have looked at the reasons behind the protests”
“The campaign is far from over yet, we must continue to push for a legal presumption of Shared Parenting”
“There is a long way to go before parents have a level playing field when they divorce or separate, the government must remove the ‘winner takes all’ system where false allegations are taken as fact and where contact orders are ignored with impunity”
“The system is beset by delay, incompetence and mismanagement, costs can spiral and support is non existent”
So as I have suggested before “Tell him about it” on his shiney new website;

“Family law judges and professionals should be held to account for their mistakes, proceedings must be open and judgements transparent”
“Until the scales of justice are truly working equitably and openly, then expect to see more action from us”
