Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Your petition talks about a number of changes you'd like to see to arrangements regarding proceedings in the family courts, but it's not clear exactly what changes you want, and whether you only want changes to apply in respect of parents who have been found guilty of domestic abuse, or if you want changes to apply to all proceedings regarding family arrangements.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
