Boys need dads — not more demonisation.
The data is clear: boys are falling behind in school, twice as likely to be unemployed, and over 3x more likely to take their own lives. Real change starts with honesty, responsibility, and support.

What happens if a parent breaks a 'Family Court Order' - https://t.co/98wJ4l1LFi

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Evidently, Britain’s family court system discriminates against men, and we need to start talking about it.

Thousands of loving fathers are being pushed out of their children’s lives - not because they are unfit, not because they have done anything wrong, but because the system is built on outdated and inaccurate assumptions.

If a relationship breaks down, the default assumption of the family courts is still overwhelmingly that mum is the primary parent and dad is a visitor - someone to be slotted in every other weekend, maybe a Wednesday evening if he’s lucky. I get so many messages about it, from depressed and angry fathers. It's grim.

How is that in the best interests of the child? It’s not. A child needs his/her dad.

Fathers are waiting months to get a hearing, with false allegations wiping a dad out of the child’s life entirely. Contact reduced based on somebody’s word, often from an ex-partner where clearly emotions are running high. Is that fair? I think not.

It costs a FORTUNE. So what, a father can see his son or daughter? Tens of thousands of pounds, fighting for access. I can only imagine what these men are going through. It’s horrific.

The entire system is built on the idea that fathers are less essential.

I passionately disagree. Children need their fathers.

None of this is anti-woman, and of course there are men (as there are women) who should not be in their children’s lives - but the system has massively overcompensated and thousands of decent dads are suffering because of it.

Good fathers are being treated like criminals or inconveniences, often bled financially dry when there is not even proper contact with the child.

The system needs an overhaul. I am pushing for change in Parliament.
