104	Lionel Rice	The courts do not give enough support to the childrens right to have a loving Father in their life. and enjoy the benefits of their paternal relatives including grandparents
105	Peter Semenenko	Children need fathers. At present children are aliented by the anti family court system, Cafcass, solicitors, judges and politicians. IT CANNOT BE RIGHT FOR CHILDREN TO BE SEPARATED FROM THEIR FATHERS OR GOOD FOR SOCIETY.
106	Michael Wiffen	After having been in chambers for 2 hours discussing my family law case with my barrister & Solicitor, the barrister said " Mr Wiffen, you've got to come to terms with the fact that you had a child with the wrong woman". At this point i packed up my belongings and left. At that time i had been through the family courts on 5 occassions over 5 years, having had 4 contact orders broken. On one of the above occassions, after not having seen my Son for 9 months(my Son was 7 at the time), contact was restarted by the courts. Within 11 days i was able to take my Son on holiday for 2 weeks. It was not the judge or Cafcass who gave permission for this, but Mother. Is anyone able to explain to me why after having not seen my Son for 9 months, i am then suddenly allowed to take him on holiday for 2 weeks? Thoughout the process Cafcass were only ever interested in the views of the Mother and NOT the TRUTH.
107	Peter	Masses of independent research shows how much damage father deprivation does to children. The only beneficiary is the legal profession, who profit from the increased litigation from greater acrimony in divorce, and litigation when the dysfunctional children from acrimonious divorce become dysfunctional adults. Lord Justice Coleridge: "I am not saying every broken family produces dysfunctional children but I am saying that almost every dysfunctional child is the product of a broken family."
108	omar agha	I am going through the family 'secret' law courts with respect to my ex applying for residency for my daughter. My experience to date is total amazement at how the law is so against the father. Change it and change it now !
109	Sharon Banga	I totally agree with what you're stading up for and wish you well. I have closely been involved in a male family members divorce(battle) and understand that terrible effect it can have on the children invollved, especially when the mother is unnecessarilly difficult with contact to the child. Fathers rights are paramount to improving the very inept legal system at the moment. Good luck!! Kind regards, Sharon Banga

112	george christophorou	I have been ordered contact with my 9 year old daughter. The mother flouts the contact order and the court refuses to enforce its own court orders.

114	Lynda Hannam	The children of today are the future, don't let them down now. They didn't ask for their parents to fall out, don't allow them to be embroiled in their parent's war. My beautiful grandson adores both his parents despite the fact they don't get on. Please, please secure my grandson's future by ensuring both his parents have equal rights and unltimately he has full rights to both his loving parents.

124	Penelope Schulze	Wherever possible, a dad's influence is ignored at the peril of a child's full healthy development into manhood. I appreciate that children can be brought up in various ways, according to different arrangements from the normal mother-father set-up and to emeging new lifestyles. However, wherever natural fathers exist, they should be given every encouragement to play a major part in the upbringing of their kids, emotionally amd socially as well as in matters of discipline. Too often, would-be dedicated dads are seen by a boy as a distant, occasional figure, and a soft-touch, a once every other Saturday kind of figure. This is far removed from what the child needs and deserves, and is his essential birthright. The father too has his rights and far too often, I fear, these are disregarded, while astonishingly, as a matter of blind faith, sometimes unfit mothers are presumed the best parent of the two, irrespective of the reality of decent dads.

130	Anonymous	I was married to a Hilter wanabe.. After a long court battle. I still have trouble seeing my children. In fact she fled the state. And the US court sucks. So I married a Aussie girl moved to Sydney AU.
131	Anonymous	My husbands ex moved his boys away without permision and the legal system did nothing, he even shared 50% residence. We now have them living with us only because she abused them. The courts seem to want something bad to happen before making a change.

138	barbara levis	A Father and Mother bring a child into the world and,therefore, both should have equal rights in the childs upbringing, and in no way should Fathers be discriminated against. Courts must stop putting Mothers rights first, and remember that children have as much right to live with Fathers as Mothers.
139	David Arazmo	My son and I have been and continue to be victims of malicious abuse of the system. A system designed for a vindictive ex wife to easily use against the father of the child with virtually no recourse. Look at it like this: domestic injunctions can be filed over and over and the petitioner does not need to provide supporting evidence - just make allegations. I my experience, after 4 temporary domestic injunction - all dropped at their hearings, the family court still gives perceived credibility to her - regardless of there being no proof or substance to the allegations! And, while false claims and lying in an application for an injunction are a crime according to Florida statutes, the State attorney will never prosecute! What's the deterrent to stop abusing the system? There is not any. They can do it over and over, suspend your visitation and poison the judge against you with mere unsubstantiated lies. The mother gets the benefit of the doubt, while the dad gets the burden of trying to disprove a negative going in. Bend over dads. Document everything.

143	Beth Cox	Lee Turner is a father who is willing and able to look after his son. If his ex-wife wants to move abroad she should be free to do so. She should not however be permitted to take their child with her.
