Separating parents receive potential new sanctions in Court shake up

There will be consultation by the Government about how the law should now be changed with the preferred option for the Courts “to work on the presumption that a child’s welfare is likely to be furthered through safe involvement with both parents”.

The move comes as evidence has come to light that one in five children lose touch with a parent upon separation and within 3 years never sees the parent that has left the family home.

The Government is also considering giving the Court’s new powers to withhold passports or driving licences and order a curfew for an offending parent.
