Expect to get the everyday perspective on Michael's challenge to raise awareness of the inequality of the UK family court system, his own experience in the system, the impact it had on him financially and emotionally, what needs to change and much more.

Family courts should be reformed in order to serve parents with more equality and fairness. False allegations should be held as perjury and shared custody should be the initial starting point; the burden of proof should be on why that cannot be the case. A 2019 study by Child Law Practice showed that 70% of false abuse allegations are made during family court custody disputes, demonstrating the dire need for reform.

Family court restructuring is not just a matter of justice system transparency but also critical to protect the rights and well-being of the children involved. The Psychological Association has highlighted that children fare better in shared custody arrangements, making it crucial to make this the default presumption.

If we believe in fairness, in protecting our children, and in the essential role both parents play in a child's life, then we must call upon our representatives to enact meaningful change in our family court systems. Let's ensure future generations have a fair and robust system to rely on. Please sign this petition to demand the much-needed reform of family courts.
