Family Law!! Do you think that all parents are treated fairly and equally.?

Question

My daughter is 17 years old and I have not seen her for 8 years. CSA are still trying to get me to pay and I have recently stopped paying when I decided if I was going to be sent to jail for not paying Child Support due to the fact it has now been proven that my ex wife decided that she was better than the law.

I have spent £68,000 in those years trying to get my rights and my court orders forced by the family court and they would not send her to court because of PMT, child Birth, holidays (School), Conflict of interest (She works for a solicitor), and again recently she has changed jobs and not informed the CSA.

In the long run, I can be sent to Jail for not paying Child Support but when she should of been sent to Jail for breaking court orders, she got a slapped wrist.

Where is the equality, fairness of the courts in the UK

Answer 1

There is no justice in it, Im a single parent myself and my ex dosnt care about my boys I wish he tried to fight for his boys.

But I have seen my brother go through the same as yourself when his ex is using the children as weapons, the courts need to take more of an approach as whos the most suitable parent, rather than the mother takes all.

Good luck  

Answer 2

I am a female that totally agrees about men getting unfair treatment.  

I have seen my best friend get walked all over and being taken back to court more times than I can count my his ungrateful, greedy ex.  It has recently just stopped "knock on wood" after 10+ years.  But he is still paying for 2/3 of their college tuition too.  Among other things.

He has never missed a payment and has actually overpaid in child support.  Which I have seen his records with my own eyes.  Funny how the ex and her new hubby built a brand new big house!

The worst part is she was the one cheating and got caught.  She brainwashed her children when they were small and now they are the ones suffering.  Sad, very sad.  

Answer 3

There is no fairness in the courts.

Women are favoured.

Answer 4

It is never fair when it comes to the man/father. You should still pay though. You are so close to the end...why go to jail?

Answer 5

I feel for you mate I have been down that road.

The politicians of all parties are to blame here.

Fathers For Justice is the organisation to look for. They provide legal help and other support.

Hang in there, because loads of kids come looking for their fathers once they get into their late teens and break away from the influence of their mothers.

You will notice that when the question is asked the other way there will be dozens of answers from women. See how many you get.

Answer 6

What c**p. it's that bad or worse here in the states--i seriously wish that the f-ing government would stay out of it and let churches and other charitable organizations take care of welfare. Men never get a fair shake in matters like this and it makes me very angry. Women can do whatever they please and it's no consequence.

Answer 7

Courts are totally fair and equal providing you are female!
