UK: Father’s rights breached by mother 'too upset’ to let him see children

Article here. Excerpt:

'Three senior judges found that it was not acceptable for the mother to block the father’s reasonable efforts to see his two daughters.

They urged all separated parents to see the “bigger picture” and consider the harm that legal disputes cause children. Lord Justice McFarlane said mothers and fathers had “a responsibility and a duty” to help children maintain contact with the other parent.

The Government has announced plans to reform the law to enable fathers to see their children. The changes would to spell out the right of children to have a “meaningful relationship” with both parents after a separation.'
