Welcome to RFFJ

THE REAL FATHERS FOR JUSTICE.

Is a civil rights movement campaigning for equality in family law, and for a child's rights to enjoy the love and care of BOTH PARENTS following Separation or divorce.
Britain's gender-biased secret family courts regime leads to the exclusion of tens of thousands of parents (mainly fathers) and grandparents every year from the lives of the children they Love, with catastrophic consequences for our Society as a whole.

Campaign Objectives

• Compulsory mediation and early dispute resolution.

• An open and accountable family court system with up to date records kept of judgments and outcomes.

• The current family court process MUST be
faster with a final hearing being heard within a matter of weeks by the same judge throughout the case, not months or years as in some cases.

• Enforcement of court sanctioned contact orders.

• Recognition of parental alienation syndrome (P.A.S) by the court system.

• Grandparents have the automatic right to apply for contact.

• Natural parents approach the process from an equal standing and have a legal presumption of contact.


THE EVIDENCE

•100 Children a day lose contact or partial contact with one parent that's over 365,000 since Labour came to power. (Based on DCA figures 2001)

•40% of children have no contact with their father after 2 years of separation (Dame Butler-Sloss)

•40% of mothers admit to thwarting contact to punish a former partner (DSS survey 1998)

•In 2002 61,000 contact orders were made (DCA), in 2003 the Times newspaper estimated that 50% of such orders were flouted with impunity.

•Nearly 1 in 4 grandparents has experienced family breakdown in at least one of their sets of grandchildren (The economic and research council)

•The UK placed last among 21 industrialised nations for the well being of its children. (2007 Unicef report)

▪"Lady Justice Arden, sitting with Lord Justice Thorpe and Lord Justice Lawrence Collins, said this was not a violation of the father's rights to family life under the Human Rights Act because he had no rights to be violated." (24.11.07)

▪ "What does surprise me is that, despite both leaders of the main parties having young families and clearly being adoring dads, neither is prepared to get to grips with this dreadful state of affairs.
Just what will it take to stir their sympathy into action? More stunts? More suicides?
Sadly, there are just no votes in men's rights, only apparently in women's" Anne Widdecombe MP (10 Sept 2008)
