		<title>Harriet&#8217;s gender bender agenda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our thanks to Melanie Phillips for this excellent article in the Spectator
So what do you expect if you have something called an ‘Equality Minister’? She will impose gross injustice wherever she can in the interests of a coercive and preposterous ideology. Harriet Harman’s proposal that companies should positively discriminate in favour of women job candidates (ie discriminate against men) is yet another example of the way in which feminism got hijacked and turned from a campaign for fairness for women into an onslaught against men. Her proposal is not only ...]]></description>

		<title>Campaign of boy-bashing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not content with attacking men, the feminist lobby is now turning its vitriol against boys.
This morning we see in the press yet one more plank in the Government&#8217;s campaign to vilify and demoralise boys. Psychologist Linda Papadopolous published her report on the sexualisation of youngsters. Commissioned by the Home office, the report finds what everyone already knows, that children are exposed to inappropriate sexual images. The sub-text to the report, however, is that girls are victims of sexual abuse and boys are to blame.
The facts of domestic abuse are studiously ...]]></description>

		<title>Taking a child abroad &#8211; what about the left-behind parent?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After separation, it appears all too easy for a resident parent to go and live overseas and so prevent the other parent seeing their child again.
The case-law governing &#8220;leave to remove&#8221; as it is called is a 2001 case, Payne v Payne. Here is the key principle which it established:
&#8220;refusing the primary carer’s reasonable proposals for the relocation of her family life is likely to impact detrimentally on the welfare of her dependent children. Therefore her application to relocate will be granted unless the court concludes that it is incompatible ...]]></description>

		<title>Child abuse linked to parental alienation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[75% of child abusers were alienated from one of their parents. 
This disturbing consequence of parental alienation has come to light in recent research by the Australian Institute of Criminology.
The Institute found that “Almost three in every four offenders had either no contact or minimal contact with at least one biological parent” (Australian Institute of Criminology Intrafamilial adolescent Sex Offenders: Psychological Profile and Treatment, Trends and Issues in Crime and Criminal Justice, no. 375, June 2009. p.2).

		<title>LIP rate rises to £20 per hour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When someone acts in person without a solicitor, occasionally a court will order that his costs be paid by the other party. He is then able to charge for the time he has spent on the case at £9.24 per hour. This is generally know as the LIP or Litigant in Person rate.
It has remained fixed at £9.24 an hour for 15 years and has not increased with inflation. Now, the Jackson Review of Costs in Civil Proceedings has recommended that the rate should increase to £20 per hour.
The final ...]]></description>

		<title>Latest Domestic violence figures &#8211; male victims soar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Government research explodes the myth that domestic abuse victims are overwhelmingly women. In Scotland the number of male victims of domestic abuse in the last 12 months is far higher than previously thought. In fact there are as many male as female victims.
The Scottish Crime and Justice Survey 2008-09 published its results on 15th December 2009. Scotland&#8217;s chief statistician reveals that in the last 12 months as many men as women were victims of partner abuse, and perpetrators of abuse were also in almost equal proportions (48% men, 45% ...]]></description>

		<title>Why are the Tories running scared?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Those of us who can still remember earlier days of this Labour government, will recall that the Conservative party had some pretty radical ideas about transforming family law when they were in opposition before the last general election. These included a promise to abolish CAFCASS (though I don&#8217;t think they ever said exactly what they&#8217;d replace it with!).
The personalities involved seemed to have a really good grip on the problems with our current system. I particularly remember Theresa May, Tim Loughton and Dominic Grieve all appeared to understand the issues.

		<title>Using harassment law to enforce contact &#8211; update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was back in court again on 15th Jan trying to bring a private prosecution against my ex-wife for harassing me by damaging my relationship with my children.
An earlier post on this site reported I had won a Judicial Review of the Magistrate&#8217;s decision to refuse to issue a summons. The Magistrate&#8217;s decision was quashed and the matter was referred back to the Magistrates for reconsideration. 
The 15th January hearing was to reconsider it, and unfortunately it was again refused, this time for a different reason.
I take a number of ...]]></description>
