This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what changes you would like the UK Government and Parliament to stop abusers using the courts in this way.

You could start a new petition calling for a review of how the family courts operate if that is something you would like to see happen.
