Some parents keep their children away from the other parent for good reason, but it definately doesn't appear to be the case here. It's awful when parents deny the other parent and their child the right to have a relationship without good cause, so I am very glad to see a precedent being set against people like this, who don't have their children's best interests at heart.

Finally - its taken far to long for this!! My OH hasn't been allowed to see his child for to long, more rights for fathers really need to come into place!

Exactly! i do not see why the child/ren should be punished it should be the responsible adult who is blocking contact, they are the ones to be punished, especially when no justifiable reason is given.

let's hope other get the same treatment if they are withholding contact. Children are precious, shame some folks don't view them that way.

I wish it could be that any person who refuses to have contact could also be sent to jail - for neglect!

agreed!

too many times it turns personal between parents

good point kelloggs! Can't believe a parent can have it in themselves to do such a thing! Emotionally and/or financially!

About time this happened though.

Equal rights and all that.
