Great banner though - "A father is for life, not just conception" - Now they just need one to mention that fathers/estranged fathers are treated as cashpoints. |
Agree 100%
A very good friend of mine was thoroughly financially and emotionally shafted by his ex who admitted to him that she wanted custody of the children for purely financial reasons. Since she achieved that aim (in spite of reservations about her acknowledged by CAFCASS) and despite only working part time, all she's done is to use him to do her parenting job whenever possible and palm them off onto other people when he isn't around to do it. Of course every so often she mucks him about and stops him seeing the kids just to remind him who's got all the cards....
It's quite shocking really but the system doesn't give a stuff about the rights of fathers and it's about time it did!
