Stop bitter mums using their children as weapons against their dads

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I feel that support for dads who can’t see their children as contact has been withheld should be free. Why should a dad have to pay court fees etc to see their children when there is no reason they shouldn’t be able to see them
Make a change, stop women using children as weapons against their dads. They are both parents and both deserve the right to see them. Women have too much power and control over dads seeing their children and it’s about time something was done about it without costing the anything to achieve it

Why it was rejected
