Stop bitter mums from blocking loving fathers access to their own children.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I am a father to an 8 year boy that I now haven't seen since April 24th 2016 for no other reason than his mother has a grudge. I have now spent upwards of £6k just to see my own son. I know that many other loving fathers are in the same, if not worse situation. The system needs a complete overhaul.
This is nothing short of sexual discrimination, in this world of political correctness and equality how is this still allowed to happen. Please sign this to help bring this injustice to and end.
