To give signal dad's the same rights to housing as single mums.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To allow dad's the same rights to housing as mum's without the need to split children apart or the need to sign over benefits. Single dads have no rights to housing to allow children to have their own bedrooms despite dads having access to their children in amicable breakups without court orders.

Why do dads who split from a child's mother need court ordered paperwork to prove their sheared custody over children. Even if the relationship breakdown is amicable and no need for court or solicitors being involved is a shambles, dads get no help from councils or the government and this needs to change as its discrimination on good hard working dads who only want to prove and be involved with their children.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
