What's really great though, is that it appears that there has been some real, though small, movement for father's rights here: "Mrs Justice Bracewell supported calls for new legislation. The courts needed the ability to refer parties to mediation at any stage of the proceedings and additional powers were required, short of imprisonment, to enforce contact orders." It still took a case involving "constant litigation since the year 2000, which has involved 17 court orders and directions and 16 judges" for her to realise this, but it's a small step forward."
