What the petition asks
I have went three years without seeing my child and have only just won her now. I've paid thousands of pounds to win this without legal aid, all through no fault of my own just the mum being awkward
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Judges in the Family Court already have the power to award costs against a party who they think has behaved unreasonably. It's not clear what more you want the Government or Parliament to do.
