United Equal Parenting Conference 2006

Philip A. Else talked about the Equal Parenting Alliance.

The Equal Parenting Alliance
 

We are a new UK political party, formed in February 2006.

We believe our shambolic family law system is failing children, failing families, failing parents and putting at overall risk the future of our society it should be helping to secure.


No child should lose a parent, when parents separate, without very good reason.

Everyone agrees that children of separating parents should maintain normal, frequent and continuing contact with both their parents. However, the current Family Justice system is simply unable to deliver even this most fundamental of requirements for children.

We think the system should put the needs of children first and respect their right to normal parenting above the rights or wishes of either of their parents.

The current system does not do this. For example, it allows one parent to eliminate the other parent from a child’s life, if they wish.

We believe this is fundamentally wrong

It is about time the major political parties stood up and addressed this situation before more children and their families are damaged by current family law practice.
