I'd buy him a pint

An interesting quote from the BBC....

Quote:

To the people inconvenienced by Mr Chick's action, Matt O'Connor, founder of the group, said: "In the extra 20 minutes you spend in traffic think about this - one child will lose contact with their father in that time.

"At the end of today a further 100 kids will lose contact with their fathers. "

Fathers 4 Justice is a worthy organisation.
As far as I am concerned the courts will nearly ALWAYS favour the mother in a custody battle, when in actual fact there is NO reason for the mother to be favoured.

you also get situations like mine where th emother leaves whilst pregnant, I have just found out that I have no automatic rights to custody of my son if anything should happen to his mother.

Nope
If my ex's family cant look after him, I then have the choice.
If they can I must sue for custody, and I wouldnt stand a snowflake in hells chance.

He'd have some say, but if the mother wanted to, she could ensure that he never sees his child. He can go back and forth to court and get as many court orders as he wants but seeing as the social services will never forcibly take the child from the mother and give him to TM2000, they're not worth the paper they're written on.

The laws must be changed, and now.

TigaSefi · 05-11-2003, 15:18

Unless of course you can prove the mother to be an unfit mother then you might have a chance.

**Russ B** · 05-11-2003, 15:21

It would be more likely that the child would go to the mother's family in that situation.

In the eyes of the law we're little more than sperm-donors.

albone · 05-11-2003, 18:57

apart from when they want money out of you!! lol

Chimaera · 05-11-2003, 19:34

But don't forget there are 2 sides to every story - not all women are bitches when it comes to custody etc!
I could write a book on the stunts my ex has pulled over the years - but I won't bore you all with it now!

**Russ B** · 05-11-2003, 19:45

Chim's absolutely right, but everyone can see that the law is viciously one-sided when it comes to family matters.

hobbie · 06-11-2003, 05:14

Whilst I agree that fathers-4-justice is an important group that we need to have, do you honestly believe that this idiot has done anything to give credibility to the campaign?
Russ -- I can't believe you are supporting this spud brain.

hobbie · 06-11-2003, 05:20

so you personally know the guy wouldnt be a good father then ???????????? , or is it just an assumption that he wouldnt be because of what he has done

hobbie · 06-11-2003, 09:47

It is ( obviously) a very vague generalisation, but one that the courts would be presented with by the council for the mother.
