At a time when the watchword should be conciliation and balance and maybe just a slight sway toward 'equal' parenting responsibilities this already biased arena will be made more of a battle ground thanks to, rather then in spite of, the legal professional when they become involved!
The Family Solicitors seem able to act with impunity, if you challenge their actions even when working for you there is very little that can be done as I found out to my cost. The law society who are supposed to regulate malpractice in the legal profession are all to often be reluctant to act as they know the solicitor can sue them, whilst there are no punitive measures the legal guardians can take.
Solicitors will agitate matters more so they can plunder the legal aid pot for mum whilst sending dad bankrupt!

Barristers also realise their lifestyles may be enhanced by further conflict so fail to seek conciliation in sensitive family court matters , and why should they at fees in the region of £2000 for a 10 minuet court appearance who would seek to resolve matters when you have a judge ready to lap it all up as they expect and 80% of the time against the dad and 100% not in the best interest of the children involved!Police are ill equipped to deal with civil matters and are quick to acknowledge this as any action they take will soon move from a mother failing to adhere to a court order but rather seek to arrest dad who happens to have turned up at his prescribed contact time and it is so much easier to arrest him for breach of the peace. Further biased in this industry shows they consider mum civil and dad criminal and once again the need of the children are ignored or more often coerced as they are compelled to say what the resident parent (most often mum) has groomed them to say regardless of fact.
We need civil enforcement officers who are able to act as a go between or mediator but with the teeth to enforce a court order equally on either offending parent not just penalising dad and depriving quality time which could be so essential to the young as they rise through their educational terms and face many dangers, peer and media pressures a reassuring dad should be on hand to say! All this could of course be prevented and big savings made (the true motive for this review rather then seeking justice I fear) and I would invite you to read my views on the final chapter in this series 'Summery' that will appear on the final day of submissions on this blog on Thursday 23rd June 2011.
I will refer more to this so called legal professional from Hertford in my next blog relating to Social Services;
