I am not sure this is the best way of deciding whether you are a fit parent or not?!
Divorce is difficult for anyone – I am sure many parents would struggle to look their ex in the eye, does it make them a bad parent??
Thank goodness they added in the exception for parents where there is domestic abuse – though no doubt they will continue to assume that domestic abuse still only exists if you have the police involved or require support from a specialist service -excluding the many victims of emotional abuse, coercive control and economic abuse.
Yes the system needs to change and yes you should never go to court if you can sort out your parenting issues outside of court, but if you can’t, is the best solution they could come up with?
