Automatic ban of abusers' custody of children bereaved by domestic abuse suicide
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.
Make child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence
We call on the Government to update child protection and family law by making child abandonment by a parent a criminal offence.
Make divorces where a child is abused automatically eligible for legal aid
Someone who can prove they have suffered domestic abuse is able to access legal aid for divorce, but if the abuse was suffered by a child within the family, even if there are convictions, they have no automatic access to legal aid for divorce. We believe this needs to change!
Give men legal opt-out from parental responsibility in unintended pregnancies
Introduce a right for men to, within a set time frame after being informed of a pregnancy, legally opt-out of the parental rights and financial responsibility associated with it. This could promote fairness, equality and informed choices in reproductive decisions.
Review Child Maintenance Service to disincentivise parents withholding custody
We think the Child Maintenance Service should be reviewed and reformed to prevent situations where a parent refuses to allow 50/50 etc custody of a child because they will lose payments.
