This is my big News (International) !

If my experience of Family Court injustice is replicated in every town, in every county here in the UK, and then throughout the world is it any wonder why society as a whole is imploding on it's self, the terrorist from with in you might call it! Daveyone.

Having spent £35,000 in family court to attain a joint residency order, 50/50 contact and shared care agreement, in the knowledge that the mother of my children would never act in a conciliatory way, I went on to provide a second family home just 1/2 mile away and close to both schools. I worked in the belief I was doing what was in my children's best interest by showing them stability and a seamless relationship even after separation from their mother.

Jumping through every hoop the Family Justice system had to offer, I went about arranging flexible working opportunities so I was always able to attended for contact and any school function such as parents evenings, sports days, school plays, etc.The whole process put a great stain on me but nonetheless I did my best until the whole process bankrupted me to the tune of £70,000.

My ex was able to capitalise from this by attaining the former family home for a peppercorn rate whilst I had to rely on early access to a private pension fund to avoid my own home being repossessed. I was advised of both these arrangement in the same days post in 2005.

Today I noted the former family home which was marketed in the local paper/estate agents has now been sold and as this is now mortgage free shall benefit my ex and her new partner to the tune of £240,000 whilst the CSA continues to purse me for £7,000 in back payments. They fail to consider all the expenditure I have encured over the past 7 years or indeed the fact my ex has wilfully withheld my children for almost 4 years knowing this rates her as a single parent with sole care and can make the most of all the system has to offer in legal aid and CSA support. I once again stand to lose my home and few possessions!

IS THIS JUSTICE?

Before Mr. Cameron takes a pop at feckless fathers maybe he should also consider the self serving mothers who fail to have their children's best interest at heart!!


As part of my One Man Dad protest, it is clear to me that it is probably now too late to restore any form of relationship with my lost boys, but I am more then happy to highlight my experience's which I believe are among the worst in Family Justice and too this end would seek to focus the world's attention on all the dads, families and crucially the seldom heard children affected by this injustice. At this slow news time I am also happy for the Murdoch empire to be used to publish our stories worldwide until justice is served!

Would you criminalise your Dad?

I certainly would not have...........




but that is exactly what the UK family justice system is doing to Dave Hawksworth
(click this blogs title for more on his story) and having handed my son his birthday card for tomorrow after almost 4 years of PAS. I could be following Dave into jail,
especially as I have now had a CSA Liability order against me without any course
of redress to show my situation
(clear to all via my blogs)


http://www.csahell.com/csa-will-not-assess-me-on-factual-actual-earnings-liability-order-applied-for-135.html

CSA beyond the law because we do not complain enough!

How can I have complied with all that was expected of me as a caring father.....




.........only to find the authorities still want more and have pushed me through hoops I would not have thought possible...




...they still intend to make this dad into a criminal, in spite of trying to do what I believed was in the true best interest of my children....



....as a respondent or defendent you normally have a right to appeal........



...but evidently not in the case of the CSA who take matters to court and bring their own outcome, is it not time to stop this and fight for justice in this still further aspect of this erronious law?

Family Justice Review:dea​dline 23rd June 2011: Summery!

Dear Mr. Norgrove,
I wonder if just a few months is enough to fully consider all the facts relating to this enormous subject,I feel it is such a mammoth task more time may be required and I offer you all my research gleaned over the past 7 years and 3 years of publishing my findings from first hand experiences as well as other people's testimonies.
http://world4justice.wordpress.com/

The misgivings I have uncovered in the family law system not only here in the UK but across the world has ramifications most especially on our young, their families and society as a whole and I hope the endeavours of your review will see it as a matter of urgency that these injustices are addressed and not some cost cutting expediency for this coalition Government. ( I apologise for my cynicism but years at the wrong end of family law will do that to a man!) Many of my contemporaries consider this could just be a fudge or whitewash but after completing the very detailed questionnaires last September feel this review should be given a chance and I was gratified for the final question which read 'what question should we have asked if you feel something has been missed?' to which I replied that I hoped you will consider the number of suicides that take place each year ( In Australia where records are kept 16,000 people have taken their lives through Family Court failure and CSA intimidation since November 2007 ) I would suggest in the UK and Canada the totals are probably double that in the USA it runs into 100,000's where the correlation between returning service personnel who then have to face broken relationships at home is just to much for one man to bear!!

Legal Professionals: There is great incentive for Solicitors and indeed Barristers rather then seek conciliation to cause still further agitation in sensitive matters as they can then make the most of the legal aid budget or rendering a parent, most often the father, bankrupt, all under the watchful scrutiny, of the Judge but of course all behind the secret family court. There is now a call for these judges to be scrutinised and courts to be opened up using the same safeguards as in criminal courts (Child A etc). I know you commended the work of theses so called professionals in your early considerations, but please look again as there is a darker side to this industry then I believe you are aware.
Grandparents: Once again I was dismayed by your early findings which much maline Grandparents.The role of the Grandparents is vital and I believe holds the key to fundamental reform of our failing Family Court system. Why is there such widespread Social Services or CAFCASS intervention in hitherto normal families? Surely if parents are experiencing difficulties the priority in the child's true best interest (not necessary the same as the court mantra wheeled out time and again.) is to keep the children within family care and Grandparents or extended family seems a more prudent and beneficial way to offer children stability then to rely on spurious snap shot reports from strangers which weak judges rely upon for their judgements.Grandparents should be equally responsible as parents in such cases and the law should reflect this.

Police: The Police have no real role in Family law proceedings and will admit as much , they are unable to enforce a court order on a mother who withholds her children in spite of dad standing there with his court orders waving over his head Chamberlain style ( and as much worth as the letter the war time leader was holding then) The Police unable to act will caution such a father that he could be arrested for breaching the peace and should return matters to court, but what for if the court order he has is not worth the paper it is written on?

CAFCASS: In my view should be disbanded as they have become lackeys or scapegoats for judges who can point to their reports when things go wrong, as they all too often do. Rather then rely on Social Services at all the courts should have access to previous family history records from a family doctor, so false allegations that emerge at these sensitive times can swiftly be quashed!


CSA : Should also in my opinion be disbanded as not only has it failed for over 20 years the tactics they employ are little more the draconian which I have likened to Gestapo and KGB as there is no accountability for their Sex discrimination Race discrimination or their breaches of human rights. Financial matters should be settled at court as part of the summing up process and in conjunction with contact and PR agreements.

I hope the Family Justice Review has recognised Parental Alienation which most often happens when the so called resident parents stops the so called absent parent (new name required here) is stopped from enjoying contact with his children ( More often Fathers but on occasion Mothers ) it should be outlawed as the psychological child abuse it is when a parent uses their own children as ransom to attain more money from a father or the system as she will show she is sole parent in spite of court orders to the contrary. Once again something the CSA will accept without the need to purse all the facts!

False allegations of abuse or violence should be dealt with as robustly as the genuine cases they undermine, and again Family GP records should be admissible to court or at least to the judge when it is clear there were no incidents before one parent wants to earn more kudos in this arena.

The solution I have arrived at for sometime and by coincidence a fellow campaigner did in Canada is to make legal aid available to both parties at the outset and one court appearance to be included in that cost. This will then focus minds on both parents doing the right thing for their children including contact arrangements and financial matters there after if a party wishes to return matters to court it has to be at their own expense and only refundable if proven that the alternative parent has not acted appropriately and stiff penalties for either parent who fails to adhere to the letter and spirit of the court order. This should mean no requirement for CAFCASS, SS or CSA intervention as long as the orders until the children reach secondary school age (12) can be enforced.

Family Courts should be opened to press and public scrutiney with the same safeguards in place for sensitive criminal cases but it is the Judges who we need to scrutinised. Once and for all recognise the biased and bigotry that exists in this industry and there should be law that makes both parents equal and responsible for their children in to adult hood. Mothers do not always know best and childhood is such a short span of time, lets get it right in their true best interest!
I rest my case!

Family Justice Review deadline 23rd June 2011: Family Court.

When I first entered family Court in March 2004 the presiding judge on the day His Honour judge Hayward-Smith. I wondered what all the fuss was about as I found a judge here who told the opposing Barrister to ".. sit down as it seemed clear to him that in this case it was the father who was seeking to offer stability and maintain a Status Quo for his children in spite of separation!"
It took another 7 months however to attain that status quo in the form of a court order that spelled out in clear terms that having been granted Parental responsibility (a given to all parents on birth certificates since then) both parents should enjoy a joint residency order, shared care agreement and 50/50 access to both children what could be more in the children's best interest then equal access to both parents living in close proximity to each other and equal distance to the schools, certainly till both children were of a mature age, probably at secondary school (present day) to make their own minds up as to which parent to visit on particular days and not so rigid as this order designed to offer routine and stability in their former years. His Honour Judge Vilgeon (who reminded me a little of Leo J Carroll who stared as Mr Waverly in Man from Uncle) summed up the day with what he described as fatherly advice that it was now incumbent on both of us to make this order work, something I was swift to embrace whilst the mother was determined to undermine it form day one in March to that day, 20th October 2004 when she set about unravelling this hard fought for order in the best interest ( I had hoped ) for our children!

From that date to present day the mother, with the aid of a particularly biased judge in the form of Her honour Judge Pearl , unravelled all that work with such insistence that contact, which had been via school collection and return time so as to avoid conflict, now become adjacent to the former family home which was sure to cause conflict. It was like this judge and the so called impartial CAFCASS reporter had become my ex partners own special advisers and whilst I struggled to keep up to her demands as well as legal bill I found the hoops they expected be to jump through became smaller and smaller till it was impossible!
Today in spite of that original order that remains in place the mother has withheld my children for 45 months with impunity and from the perspective of HHJ Pearl actively condoned her Parental Alienation which extends to the extended family, school, doctors police and anyone else who becomes involved, whilst all the time it was meant to offer the children, who I believe most right minded people would agree, stability structure and as near normal family life in their best interest.

I tried to take matters to a further court to have this systematic destruction stopped but it was clear from the out set one judge would not over-rule another, yet this is exactly what Pearl did to Vilgeon and there is no mechanism available to enforce the order on the mother yet when I turned up for contact at the prescribed time and place with my order waved above my head almost Chamberlain style, as with the war time Prime Minister it was not worth the paper it was written on and in fact I was nearly arrested for breach of the peace when it was her not adhering to the letter and principle of what HHJ Vilgeon had offered in 2004.


The advice from the ill informed police was to return matters to court as they saw it as a civil matter as far as the mother was concerned, yet they were quick to try to make Dad a criminal as they can administer this easier themselves.
So my question to Lord Justice Ward and his cronies who bleat on about;
"Vengeful mothers leave good fathers powerless to see child," says judge
who is it but these failing law makers who are expected to put this right and in these times of supposed equality why can't Family Court orders be enforced on both parent rather then just dads? It is time the secrecy that hides the corruption and biased bigotry in these courts be exposed as in any other walk of life they would be regarded as sex discrimination, race discrimination and a breach of fundamental human rights especially against the children who's voices are never heard, yet these hypocrites claim to serve their best interest. If this is the case open the courts to public scrutiny as with criminal courts and in especially sensitive cases the media instructed to describe them as Child A, Child B, Family XYZ or use a press Id code relating to a specific Court orders otherwise this system along with it's accomplices in the form of CSA ,CAFCASS, Social Services and the money greedy legal professionals will continue to act like latter day gestapo of KGB with impunity!

What could be more appropriate for a Father but to defend those he holds most dear? His Children!

Family Justice Review deadline 23rd June 2011: Parental Alienation

Not too helpful Mr. Cameron!
(Click on blog title to read the background to this article)

I had hoped comments such as those passed by our leader the Rt Hon David Cameron PM this father's Day, were going to be lost in the myths of time following the departure of Messer's Harman and Balls (Both of them, Mr. & Mrs that is). But no the same old rhetoric is being purveyed as this Government clearly sees that there are more votes to be had from single mothers then dads who have done all they can through the courts, as well as trying to retain their sanity and offer normal lifestyles to those they hold most dear, their kids! http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/article3850658.ece

Yet on the whim of a selfish self serving mother the law empowers to enact their vengeance time and again with impunity whilst the father all to often on modest wage is made to pay and pay to the point of ruin just to have some parental responsibility for his kids in a world fraught with danger as well as media and peer pressures. In spite of being jointly responsible for my children, the mother can with hold the children with no chance of redress from the courts, and systematically drip drip poison in their young impressionable minds, as I learned today from school, my son's want nothing to do with me in spite of me receiving a happy Father's day card from my step daughter yesterday, 45 months to the day since I last had any form of contact with my son's. The pain this has inflicted on me I would not wish on any of my fellow man, and yet even in the face of this adversity actions such as returning their cloths, toys and equipment to them in the belief they would soon out grow them or may wish to have them after a few moths absence, was done in good faith by me, whilst the mother will interperate this as " See he doesn't want to know you after all!" God I would give a limb just to see my own father, who would have been the same age as the Duke of Edinburgh, back in my life for just one day, so you can imagine what I would (and have done) for my own sons just a few moments on a football touch line for instance, is that too much to ask?






Mr. Cameron continued his sanctimony by saying how his own father had inspired him,


well I have news for him so did my own father who I am sure would rock in his grave if he was aware that the freedoms that he and many others fought for in the 1940's were now allowing Parental Alienation to become the mainstream of our society and a Government that was puny in opposition , show the same traits now when they should be showing robust leadership on a most fundamental of issues affecting our seldom heard children TODAY!

I will be submitting my final items to David Norgrove and his Family Justice Review this Thursday, 23rd June and they may be followed here too;
I also wish Sir Bob Geldof would speak out again on this at this crucial time!

Family Justice Review: Deadline 23rd June: CSA

http://www.csa.gov.uk/
In March 2004, I took matters to Family Court in the knowledge that my former partner and mother to my children would not seek conciliation.

In October 2004 following several visits to the Court, we were granted a Joint Residency Order, Shared Care Agreement and a 50/50 Contact Order, very rare in the U.K. but something I was satisfied would serve my Children's best interest until they were mature enough to decide for themselves as to which parent they would choose to stay with, in any event I envisaged this to be by the time each of my sons reached Secondary School.

This Order came with its' financial burden to me of £35,000, whilst the mother enjoyed similar amount from Legal Aid. I also sent a letter on the 21st October 2004 to my former partner's solicitor suggesting we came to an arrangement pertaining to financial matters. This letter has gone unanswered to date and the subsequent actions of my former partner will explain why.

As early as Christmas 2004 my former partner was seeking to disrupt the Court Order and whilst she failed on this early attempt it was a course of action she pursued right through to August 2008, by which time I had established a second family home close to the Schools as well as a regular routine with my children and with both homes in close proximity to the Schools this meant both my children should have had the convenience of visiting either parent at will. Sadly the mother chose to withhold my children from the Court appointed contact since 19th September 2007 to the present date as by showing she was the sole parent, this would give her greater kudos when making excessive demands on the CSA when a Shared Care Agreement meant costs should have been just that!

In 2008 due to the expenditure incurred in Courts trying to maintain a second family home, reduced working times (even though I worked flexible hours through Agencies) to accommodate the children's contact, I was rendered Bankrupt and part of this process meant on one occasion, two envelopes arrived at my door on a Saturday morning, one containing notification that my former partner and her new partner (who has regular contact with my sons, yet has not spent 30 seconds in a family court), were able to obtain possession of my former family home at a peppercorn rate meaning by now there is no mortgage to be paid. In the same post the second envelope contained notification of the second family home I shared with my Wife and her Daughter as well as my own two Sons would be repossessed as I had fallen behind with the mortgage payments and although this was July 2008, I did suggest if they could wait until September, I would have early access to a pension which would resolve this matter, although this has subsequently reduced any further benefit of this pension to a minimum.

Today I find I am under undue pressure to pay exorbitant amount to the Child Support Agency in spite of all the efforts described above. They seem to pluck a figure out of the sky without considering your means, demand that you pay it. There is no accountability for the mother to show her financial status, simply by showing she is sole carer, she seems empowered to make these excessive demands and the CSA for their part will not take into consideration any of the FACTS highlighted above. They are content to reduce my salary in half putting my house at further risk of repossession whilst also demanding the reminance of my meagre pension and all they will tell you in answer to their blinkered action is 'That Is The Law!'

Well I'm here to tell you, there was a Law at one time that allowed Slavery, condoned Capital Punishment and alienated Homosexuals and I can only find hope that the current Family Justice Review will bring this draconian Law into the 21st Century and offer some right of redress by individual parents, more often the Father who it is demanded should pay for two Households from a single modest salary, to this end I would site this Law as Sexual Discrimination as it is less likely they would pursue a mother. I would also site it as Racial Discrimination as it is unlikely they would pursue Travellers when even the Police will not go on site and furthermore, What about the Human Rights of my Wife and I?... why should we be put in this impossible situation whilst my former partner languishes in the former family home even with a Council enquiry as to why she takes the children out of School during term time for too many holidays.

Child Support system as it stands serves self interested money grabbing mothers whilst mothers with general needs go short and they fail to pursue feckless runaway Dads, when the soft target is those like myself who have gone through the system with the best interest of the children in mind and become harassed and intimidated as they know and always have known my home address and telephone number, so I for one will say no more to this Injustice even if it renders me liable for Court action, enough is enough!

(Click on this blog title to see more injustice by the CSA, brought to you by RFFJ)

I would ask everyone to help me raise the profile of the CSA injustice throughout local and national media before the June 23rd deadline: Happy Father's Day!

Justice in June!

In a world where an increasing number of feckless men father babies they then wifully abandon Rob Daley was a child ever child wants! So said Jane Moore as tribute to the father of Tom ,Olympic gold medalist.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3607796/Olympic-star-Tom-Daley-mourns-his-dad-Rob.html

But, and I know it is a very big but, what about the self-serving women who choose to have babies when they know the world is already over populated solely for their own financial gains even alienatining loving dads to enhance their prospect from a system that actively condones such practice!

At a time when Kerry Katona is awarded £1.66 in child maintance how come a lowly paid dustman is expected to lose half his salary each month in child maintence when he was already sent bankrupt by trying to do what he considered best forhis kids including offering a second family home equal distance to the schools as the one they share with their mother which now happens to be mortage free!

(Click on this blogs title for more from The Sun)

The £35,000 Joint residency order, shared care aggrement and even equal contact with both parents could so easily be unravelled (quite how or why that was in the children's best interest is anyone guess) and on top of which the CSA do not take any of that into considersation when they pluck a figure from the sky and insist you pay regardless of ability or means... or the fact you have already paid and paid again!!
So as I set off for Plymouth lets ponder those thoughts!

Family Court.

It all went wrong for me at Watford or I should say a court order designed with my children's best interest at heart was sanctioned by one judge by systematically unravelled by another proving such orders are not worth the paper they are written on and can only be enforced on Dad, but not Mum, so I will remind them of this when I arrive in Watford. You may like to notify your story to the local press in Watford in anticipation of my visit (See the social services link below)

CAFCASS.

It is my intention to bring a focus on this organisation, which is little more then a poor judges scapegoat, who they can point a finger to when they inevertably go wrong I will be calling for their demise when I arrive in Luton next month.

Social Services.

I will be paying a visit to Hertford County Council this coming months so look out for oppertunities to contact the media on such topics via my Facebook page by the same title as this blog.
