Fathers
4 Justice (F4J) is a new civil rights movement campaigning for a child's right
to see both parents and grandparents. The group comprises Fathers, Mothers,
Grandparents, Teachers, Doctors, Company Directors, Policemen, Barristers
– a complete cross section of society – all whom believe that Britain is needlessly
creating a nation of children without parents and parents without children.
Fathers 4 Justice have adopted a twin track strategy based around publicity

"I

to grieve unnecessarily and applaud the heroic fight of Fathers 4 Justice.”

could veto contact between children and their fathers if this made them 'anxious
or depressed.' So why is the Lord Chancellor's Department failing to uphold
the will of Parliament? Why is it failing families? Why is it failing our
children and grandchildren? "When the law promotes injustice, it will fall."
