Petition Action

Men to be given automatic parental responsibility like women when a baby is due.

Petition Details

It should be the right of both legal parents to be granted equal access to their child. 50/50 access should be a mandatory norm regardless of the parents gender, where automatic refusal of child support is put in place when 1 parent refuses access without sound reasoning.

Additional Information

Men all over have been forcefully removed from their children's lifes, damaging (sometimes permanently) the bonds between them. Children without the input of both able parents have shown a negative psychological response time and time again, Dads who have been forced to the sidelines have experienced everything from hopelessness to depression to suicide. This needs to be stopped!
