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.
The child’s mother, father or anyone with parental responsibility can apply for a court order relating to where a child lives, when a child spends time with each parent, and when and what other types of contact take place (phone calls, for example). Decisions about what arrangements to order are a matter for the courts.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
