Hi there.
Nice to meet you all. I am hoping to get a bit of friendly advice regarding a rather tricky situation.
A friend of mine has been caught up in a bit of a mine fiield after being happily married for several years.
Long story short he was living a perfect life - couple of kids, nice gaff and planning on more at some point.
I'm not going into details for obvious reasons but essentially with no prior warning things have switched.
Wife got him arrested on false charges and the bail conditions have handed her the keys. He's now homeless and has zero control over child access. Kids weren't allowed to see him over Christmas. He's reaching the end of his tether and I am pretty worried. The kids have been totally weaponised against him and contact has been minimal.
He is awaiting trial and is at the end of his tether, saying some rather dark things recently.
I was hoping to try and help however I can by finding out as much about father's rights as possible. I was hoping to get him in touch with people who have been through similar issues and find some good resources on legal aid in times like this and to find out what the next steps are.

Hi
Unfortunately there isn’t any default right for a parent to see their kids if the other parent stops them hence so many of us end up in court .article 8 of the human rights act says we have the right to a family life and that was bought up in court .with they it’s a consideration .overiding factor is the welfare of the kids as far as court goes
Not sure if there much else You can do but wait for court . In the mean time gather all evidence you can for defence .
Legal aid is very hard to get nowadays in family court . Check this out might help

Much appreciated. Evidence gathering has gone fairly well and it seems there's more on his side than theirs.
