Petition Action

Court order for non resident parent

Additional Information

When a married couple seperate and divorce the resident parent usually has the last say in whether or not the absent parent can see his/her children.

Even though both parents should have equal responsibility, if the resident parent says no then it is up to the absent parent to apply to the courts to re-gain access to the children.

The law should be changed whereby the resident parent has to apply to the court first, give a reasonable explanation to the court as to why they dont want the absent parent to see the children before any forms of contact is stopped, then it would be up to the absent parent to apply to the court to re-gain contact.

There are too many instances of the resident parent using the children as weapons and creating an imbalance of parenting by taking it upon themselves to stop the absent parent having contact with the children just because they say so.
