Inequality with Dads

Hi, I am a woman who is shocked at the way many fathers are treated when it comes to family law cases.
I came across this site following my own experience with this matter, when my husband had a very lengthy and frustrating battle with his ex, over shared residency of their child -she wanted sole custody, and did everything she could to try and achieve it, including lies, gross inaccuracies, manipulation etc. In the end (thankfully) my husband was awarded shared residency and it was largely due to the fact that in court she revealed her true nature and kept contradicting herself and proved that much of what she had stated had been lies. However, as a family my husband and I went through a very difficult period (her accusations were about us as a couple and she used the child on many occasions to create problems for us) to and we are still paying off the debt of our barrister and solicitor. I am aware that many fathers have had much harder times and have not been so fortunate in court.

I have a forum theatre group in Brighton and we are devising a performance which is about the inequality which is apparent in courts and our community when it involves father's wanting contact/residency/custody with their child/children. It would be very useful to have feedback from dads on this site, of their experiences and stories where they felt that they were not treated fairly. Any information sent to me would be very much appreciated, and would remain completely confidential. If you have nay questions about the nature of this performance and what forum theatre is about, and how it is a useful tool in the community, then I would be very happy to explain.

Thank you very much
