Give dads more rights to children they aren’t allowed to see by the mothers

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it a legal requirement for fathers to be allowed to see their children instead of the mother deciding what is allowed, unless the fathers state they don’t want involvement.

My partner has 2 children and is allowed to see neither of them through no fault of his own, other than the control from the mother. He hasn’t seen either of them for over a year when he has done nothing wrong, and unless he pays thousands of pounds in court fees which he doesn’t have, will never be allowed to see them until they are 18. Fathers deserve more rights as fathers, and it should be a legal right to coparent instead of the mother having the final say.
