Today&#8217;s quote was the Chairman of the Bar saying “We believe access to justice is a fundamental part of the rule of law and are doing all we can to help limit the impact upon those who find&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll no doubt be writing a fair amount in the coming months about the Human Rights Act and the Government&#8217;s plans to abolish it. It&#8217;s important. Two of the rights in the Act are fundamental to family law&#8230; the right to family life, and the right to a fair hearing. The Custody Minefield was created&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, the Law Society expressed an intention to lobby the Government to reverse plans to abolish the Human Rights Act. Some of the more right wing press would have you believe that the Human Rights Act is an evil, foisted upon us by Brussels. It&#8217;s purpose portrayed as allowing terrorists and would be terrorists to&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Election time is coming, and there&#8217;s inevitably discussion about which party is best for separated/separating parents and their children. One important matter I hope will be remembered is the bedroom tax and its impact on families. If you&#8217;ve forgotten the comments of Lord Freud on how non-resident parents should accommodate their children, remind yourself: While&#8230;]]></description>

Things didn&#8217;t go well. Firstly&#8230; we thought we&#8217;d be Dad, prevented from seeing his children after separation, needing information about what to do.
