Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 6 page paper examines the rights of fathers in the context of the following quote “Unless there are cogent reasons against it, the children of separated parents are entitled to know and have the love and society of both their parents. In particular, the courts recognise the vital importance of the role of non-resident fathers in the lives of their children and only make orders terminating contact when there is no alternative. There are, of course, cases where such an order is forced on a judge by the intransigent conduct of the children's mother” (The Right Honourable Lord Justice Wall, 2005). The paper considers how this approach is reflected by the law and the application of the law in England. The bibliography cites 5 sources.

arguments for the rights of the fathers movement groups are strong and impelling, but the law does not overtly discriminate between parents, if this is non bias is present in
reality it should be reflected in the way fathers rights are interpreted. However, in UK law and the various acts designed to protect children, it is always the childrens rights
and the welfare of the children that is of the greatest importance, as seen with the way the Childrens Act 1989 seeks to control and regulate the relationship of children
with tier parents. The Right Honourable Lord Justice Wall (2005) has argued that when looking at the rights of children "Unless there are cogent reasons against it, the children
