Law Reform
Families, Fathers & Friends advocates for law reform on fathers' rights
We’re delighted that the Law Reform Commission has issued its landmark consultation paper proposing increased parental rights and responsibilities for fathers and grandparents, but disappointed it’s virtually a carbon-copy of the previous report from three decades ago.
We hope it will lead to long-overdue policy and legislative reform, which strikes a balance between the rights of fathers and mothers, in the interests of the child.
