I have been in the family court and Federal Magistrates court for over two years now, my daughter turns 5 next year, I have not seen her since she was one year old.
Another Christmas and Birthday approach, I am still not allowed to talk to her, know that she is safe, send a letter, birthday or christmas card, have any form of contact or know where she is.
Terry and David Hicks have contact, and that is in an illegal military prison! My daughter is no terrorist, yet the family court sees fit to totally violate her right to know her family while they err on the side of caution. That is no excuse, her mother is isolating her from all of her extended family, and the court supports this abuse.
The Changes to the family law act are late and discriminate against men. Men who go through family breakup are more likly to have a restraining order or charges of violence against them, they then have no base of joint responsibility.
This has set family law into the situation where it supports mothers abducting children, then charging families 80 to $120 000 with no garantee of success.
This is no legal system, it is aid and abeit kidnapping and profiting from the crime.
In my case, the court has retarded the ability of police and family services in the ACT and the state where my daughter is from conducting a welfare check, this is a dangerous disgrace.
The court is a law onto itself, with the registry open to reveiw from the ombudsman and beyond the reach of human rights organisations.
To so overtly prejudice men is a disgrace, the status of father is as sacred as mother. The moral panic created by the domestic violence community is to blame.
Yes domestic violence is wrong, but without a fair trial, there can be no justification for the practices of this court.
I think the political party that shreds this crime of a legal system will win the next election. I would like to see them locked up. |

I will say, as a long supporter of the greens, the Howard government has done a brilliant job in reforming the law, but in the last sentice has undone an enlighted peice of legislation.
Untill the community says no to violence full stop, men and children are the next stolen generation.
Yet another case of the family court seeing its responsability to reinvent the wheel at the expensive of fathers. This is more an act of a court beholden to seperatist femanism than a court responsable for protecting the rights of children.
Diana Bryant should resign in Disgrace. For the courts breach of my daughters rights under her watch, I would have her locked up, so she can see the effects of broken familys.
The law was never an appropriate institution for the welfare of children, nor families.
Merry Christmas, Grinch. |

I come from a school of thought that you should bring a solution to the table when you present a problem.
Centerlink has responsability for family payments and has a system of tribunals for appeals. It is a government agency eminantly qualified for looking after families, and it does it well. I would put the amended legislation onto Centerlink, cut the lawyers out of the equation for ever. mediators and the power to make payments on the bases of time spent parenting in a consultative and supportive model.
Finacial arguments belong in small claims courts. and have nothing to do with the best interests of children.
Society has changed to much. Women are more qualified and in higher paying jobs and are more likely to put children into childcare and grow their careers, fathers who choose to step into a parenting role should be supported to do so, rather than preduced for being male and expected to live up to a social role that doesn't exist any more.
The practice of stealing children to another state (SA in particular) should be a last resort exept in the clearest and worst cases of violence. Esp now, while there are delays of 16 months, that is a crime in itself, there is nothing timely about delays like this.
There should be an inalienable right of contact between families that should be reduced no futher than supervised visits letters and telephone contact with children exercising veto no one else.
Money has no place near the rights of the child. the legal community should not be a place of private enterprise, especially Family law. Everyone who wants legal aid should be entitled to it. |

zephyr9673, Finacial agreement, of course, has something to do with kids as that's their future basis. It's unfair to say there's nothing to do with their best interests.
Children are the ones being disavantaged from break dowm and often they are being ignored what they should be entitled to.
Who is going to give them security? Women are being expected too much as now they have to work and do all the home duties. It's sick the society expecting as what it is. And children are living in insecure and unstable conditions as they get worried where they would be going next. |

In your comment Time spent parenting my question is how much time have you spent actually parenting
Financial arguments do belong in small claims court i agree but you lost me when you said that the financial argument has nothing to do with the children,you are a moron the only reason that we fight for the financial siutuation is beccause if you do not pay then the child,children go without have you tried to live on the parenting payment
Women more qualifiedd anfd in higher paying jobs ! where if that is a blow to your ego then go back to school and learn something.It is still a fact that women are not paid as much as men are in the exactally same employment
women are more likely to place their child in daycare at the expense of their career.My question to you is why because they ccan not live on the family payment and they have to look after their children
You make me laugh with your comment about father who step into parenting roles not being supported and being prejudiced against when it comes to family financial support from the government you are not looked at wi\omen or man you are looked EQUAL. |

I am a divorced father of 2 10 years ago an man what a learning curve that was.At kindy I was looked down by the women was treated like an alien. But I broke the ice and also family payements are a complete joke for every one . I just bought out my previous partners 1/2 house as by law an so it should be , centrelink didnt care I had to loose my house and depend on them again what a dumb biased joke.
I was to go bankrupt just to be with my kids shift to some dump as I couldnt afford anything better go nuts kids go beserk be exposed to a crappy area of others who are in the same boat no thank you.I went back to work one month after turned off the gas stove bought a microwave oven , taught my son how to cook reheat food I prepared safely ,same as I did in the old days.It worked ok not the best but we were in the same house they were used to same neibours same school same area.They were not happy about the divorce but hell we were beter off from the damn stupid family payements and the distress that department causes. Divorce or seperation of any kind is murder on both parents let alone the kids and the maintance department treatment of my previous partner was crap those people chase you for money like Hitlers SS Officers its a wonder someone has not C4ED their departments by now!
I only hope all who are in this scary situation find some happiness and positivity soon and try to get the kids to finnish school not easy now my kids see they have stuffed up and are now paying for it via work place choices ( what choices) if you do not have CERTIFICATIONS.
I have ranted on a bit so stay positive and happy - Chrome |

I have heard there are some single fathers having full custody as occurred. It’s probably those mothers do think that they are not suitable to take on primary parenting role. That’s fair enough. It’s their choices and they’ve made their decisions to be the best for their kids. However, don’t blame Centrelink, they have nothing to do with whether your house being sold. It’s just a possession as it is. Normally you would have difficult time when split up as you don’t have a reasonable.
Child support agent does not chase people up as it should be. I have also heard some parents, mums or dads, don’t pay up to their maintenance towards their kids just to upset the other parties or reduce their annul income purposely.
So you can imagine that kids are the biggest losers as extended. They are the victims under such conditions as they have no say whatsoever.
There are some single dads have made their lives better after separation as they have got some benefits from being single parents. There’s been reported on Today Tonight, a single father getting some benefits from Centrelink and going on holidays and doing all sorts personal enjoyment. So stop whinging about it, ok! There are some single mums and dads have been treated unfairly as to their different circumstances. |

It is no use making complaints in anonymous forums on Yahoo. It is like talking to a sparrow seating outside
Parliament.
If you want, place your names on paper and sign collective
complaint forms with all other victims of prejudice
I for one want to find out how and where to complaint
about the magistrates that are discriminating against
me. |

Well, i have been through the family court system, for about 3years now trying to get custody or some sort of contact with my children. Last time i knew my children were with there mother in victoria, and then all of a sudden i didnt have any contact, no address, no phone number, i was very depressed, and stressed out. I rang the federal police, i rang department of childrens services no one would help me.
I finally got into the local court, and they found her address, she was now living in perth without notifiying me. I took her to court i havent had my kids for 3years, i finally got them mind you i had to pay the full fair of them to fly over and back.. When they were over here with me i was disgusted in what my kids were telling me about her partner doing to them. I contacted DOCS (whats a joke) about the sexual abuse and abuse that was going on they didnt think my kids were in danger, I contacted the police i contacted the courts and they said i couldnt hold them on the any grounds they had to be returned to their mother.
I have nothing good to say about the goverment and the way they get to act towards the parent that suffers from not being about to see their kids. ITS A DISGRACE |

"I have been in the family court and Federal Magistrates court for over two years now, my daughter turns 5 next year, I have not seen her since she was one year old."
I will give you the benefit of the doubt here,
and I've certainly heared a lot of bad decisions by it,
But I would have thought a complete ban on any contact with your daughter by the court must have been the result of extaordinary circumstances? |

From my experience there is no family law,only a money making business, thriving on the bones of broken families.
I do believe though that parents are not being advised properly as to how this Family Law works.
In my case I lost everything, my home, my business, I was financially ruined. Still I am here to complain. If I had not ran for my life.I would be six feet under, and guess who would have got everything anyway. |

Good for you taking the positive out of these stats.
Although my own experiences were very different.
I am happy that Fathers rights are improving, be it ever so slightly.
I do believe that again Family Law is an ass in this; and every other area they touch. |

Just for the record I am Female, and I lost everything through The so called Family Law Agreement, not worth the paper it was writen on, and not worth the amount it cost.
Some men are teflon, they get away with murder, fraud, and everything else through this Family Law. |

I agree April.... noone leaves a husband/partner that is being a good father, provider, husband. Why go elsewhere when you have a perfectly good deal in your own home ??
I belive most custody battles that are intigated by the man have very little to do with the childrens welfare and have everything to do with wanting the last bastion of control and USING the children to force the woman back into the relationship (because you can't look like a quiter infront of your mates and lets face it, if your going to go down you may as well go down with your boots on whilst taking as many people with you as you can.)
The facts are that no matter how much those men out there hate it, the woman is the birth giver so there for should have the status quo. |
