We call on the UK Government to introduce legislation that explicitly prohibits perpetrators of domestic abuse from being granted custody or unsupervised access to their children if it has been established that their abuse has likely contributed to the other parents suicide.
Mr David Lammy
Deputy Prime Minister
Stop criminalisation of parents who take children abroad due to domestic abuse
Make divorces where a child is abused automatically eligible for legal aid
Automatically strip parents who murder children of parental responsibility
Make child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence
Ban unsupervised child contact during criminal investigations
