Stop mothers to keeping children away from their fathers

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Currently in the UK there are millions of children denied a relationship with their fathers.
For a father to gain access to his child/children he has to pay to go to mediation and to court just to see his children because "mum" says no.
There are Fathers paying their maintenance, working hard to save up for mediation and court fees and are getting nowhere due to this and that's not the way it should be!
There are fathers who have killed themselves and still nothing has been done!!
I want this to change! There must be repercussions for these "mothers" who deny their children a healthy relationship with their fathers, this needs to change and this needs to change NOW!
