Give fathers full rights to a child if the mother gives up rights or walks out

Petition Details

I’d like the government to change the law on this as the mother automatically gets full rights regardless of the circumstances and I see this as being very unfair. The fathers have as much rights as mothers however whenever a mother decides to walk away they still get full rights despite the actions

Additional Information

I want the government to change this as I currently know how it feels as my little brother is caught up in the middle of a feud and the mother has walked out but because of the law, the father still doesn’t feel like he’d win a court battle due to the current law that’s in place. I feel like this is unfair and it should be changed immediately as I know my little brother won’t have been the only one affected and there’ll be more to follow.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure whether you are concerned about contact rights or custody rights.

You could start a petition calling for both parents to be given equal contact rights in the event of a separation, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
