Press Releases

Parental Alienation Awareness Day - 25th April 2023

We are the leading non-gendered, national charity campaigning for shared care. We are a charity dedicated to helping separated or divorced parents (and their wider families) continue to provide the love, care, and support that their children need – no matter how their parents may feel about each other.

We believe an assumption of shared care between parents would be by far the best starting point to benefit of the children.

We believe that the family Courts are failing our children with their long delays, obstruction of safe parenting opportunities for both parents and lack of support for mediated settlements of child arrangements.

Letter from a Judge to the children involved

RECORDER JOHN MCKENDRICK QC

CENTRAL FAMILY COURT

LONDON

30 August 2022

Dear [A] and [B],

My name is John and I am a judge. I met your Mum and Dad at court in London last week. Your mum and dad have asked me to make decisions for you both about where you should live.

The Ugly - Jan 2023

A warm salute to the brilliant editor of our then journal, Richard Gregory, who provided this idea. 

We are staggered ( and angry)  to see the published judgement of Lord Justice Mostyn. Full details, against which this rant should be checked here.

The father was accused of sexually abusing a toddler. He applied for direct contact.

The Bad - Jan 2023

Those people who bear grudges may think that not to do so is to ‘let off’ the person who they feel wronged them. Instead, bearing grudges belittles the lives of the person who does it. Better to move on and build positive experiences, if you can, after being robbed of plenty of years of seeing your children grow.

This case concerns a brief marriage (and a bitter divorce), which 15 years ago produced a son whose father made attempts to stay involved with.
