Equal rights for fathers

Equal rights for fathers
Why this petition matters

In the U.K many fathers are having to fight to have shared custody of their children after the separation from their mothers. I am fighting for fathers to be automatically granted the right to have equal amounts of time spent with there children. Parents should not need to fight to see there children unless there is a good reason behind it.
after being in my children's lives consistently since the day they were born I am now faced with the prospect of being a part time father, missing out on valuable time with my children (against mine and my children's wishes). I want the law changing where fathers are seen as equals. It’s 2022 and although woman’s rights have came on massively (and rightly so) it’s just not the same for men and dads in particular. Children need both parents in there lives!
