Yep we all know the family law system is in need of changes.
My husband has never had any issues of violence, drugs, alcohol or any other abuse. He pays his ex money every week without fail. His ex ended the relationship 4 months before the birth of his first and only biological child. He was denied the birth of his son, couldn’t cut the cord and was notified by message 2 hours after birth. He was then told his son was not having his surname. He then had to go without seeing his 5 day old child for 5 weeks over Christmas because the mother wanted to take him to qld.
He has spent over $20000 in court costs in 2 years and has a lousy 74 hours a month and still not had any sleep overs with his boy. We now are fighting to keep her from moving my step son 2 states away. The long term psychological issues that impact on families really suck. We need equal rights, and equal shared care for capable parents.
