Hate to say it Ed but it doesn't surprise me actually
Family Law in relation to fathers is a complete f****g joke!
So as if persecution by the CSA isn't bad enough, you then have to fight to see your kids because "the law" won't impose any sanctions on a mother who blatantly disregards "the law" (re: contact orders - which aren't worth the paper they are written on).
Reminds me of the case where a judge refused to award child benefit to a father who had sole custody of a child because at the time child benefit could ONLY be paid to the mother!?!? I don't remember much else about it, but Family Law needs updating.
Mothers need to be sent a warning message. All this stuff about "we must do what's best for the children" (of course we do), but sometimes the children may have to be temporarily disadvantaged so that the law can be seen to be upheld!
I shall vacate my soap box now ... thank you
