"Currently, a mother who does not allow her children court-ordered access time with their father can be fined or imprisoned. In practice, this never happens because the child would be the big loser.
"It's rarely used because this would be taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut," says a government spokesman."
Whoa there . . . it is a damned big nut . . . perhaps a wrecking ball is needed ?

And . . . Oh, dear me No ! it would be truly wrong to suggest the kids may spend time with Dad whilst mom is in prison . . .
. . . and then again, we surely cannot have it learned by our children that mom's have to obey any Law ?

Giving a father custody of his kids because the mother denied visitation rights makes perfect sense.
I'd suggest hitting these blockheads with a sledgehammer. But you couldn't do that. They have their heads up their asses!

that reflect more accurately a society where living together and divorce are increasingly common, and more men are shouldering a share of child care.
That last clause pisses me off. As if fathers haven't always worked their butts off one way or another. As if being a wage slave because you didn't have any other choice in a marriage but to be a wage slave doesn't earn you rights to a relationship with your child.

Roy writes "The Christian Science Monitor prominently covers the British Fathers for Justice phenomenon and growing social support for father's rights in piece titled "Divorced British dads push courts for more access to children: Former cabinet secretary's push to see his child highlights a growing father's rights movement."
An excerpt - "There is a presumption that a father has to prove himself... We are constantly up against this accusation that a father doesn't deserve his children. Mothers never get that even if they are hopeless."
