Scrap the charges for child arrangement applications

Closed 116 signatures

What the petition asks

Where a resident parent agitates or denies contact between non resident parents and their children, the process for an arrangement order demands the non resident parent pay costs of £215 after also having to pay for attempts at mediation.
The right to a family life should not be priced in this way.
