Quick question..

Does anyone know if the change to the 1989 Children Act(the one giving fathers more rights, basically) has gone through yet? I've just had a look at directgov, and it's still saying that fathers are screwed..

Fathers do have rights, even more so if you have parental responsibility for you kids, any father is just as responsible for the welfare of their kids as the mother is.

Oh, I know I have parental responsibility(kids born 2005/2006).. Just concerned about the line where it states that parental responsibility doesn't equal right to contact for the non-resident parent.

Some people are, unfortunately, perfectly willing to use the letter of the law(if not the spirit that it's intended), for their own ends.

I was under the impression that the recent change would concede the right to access to the non-resident parent. Ah well, perhaps the page hasn't been updated yet, or the change hasn't actually gone through yet. Will keep checking, and/or see if I can scrounge together the pennies necessary to ask a solicitor.

Cheers folks

Try contacting families need fathers... They can be a great source of advice.. a contact order can be got quite easy and cheaply if you know how.. and can easily be done without a solicitor.

Good luck.

All solicitors are suppose to give a free consultation, of course it suites them, bit like a quote for a job really.

They see what the issues are, do I want to take the case and how much money can they make out of it

My understanding is that "father's rights" to see children will NOT be enshrined in law anytime soon, if at all. Same with Grandparents.

Shame all around really.

To the OP and others,

IF you use a solicitor for Children Act or divorce matters, try go to a member of RESOLUTION, supposedly non-confrontational lawyers.

Google will bring up more information.

Not according to my solicitor in my divorce... I was told to not be seen to be doing anything that could be shown to be preventing the kids or he may well not only get his access but custody too.

The courts now if possible favour 4days with one parent and 4 days with the other.. if you get cafcas involved this is what they will suggest.. but only works if you live close enough to the other parent.

I cant link to the places I want to.. but just pop in fathers rights into google. and you will get lots of places that can help
