Can this situation be remedied? Partially. I would like to see a right enshrined in law, all other things being equal, that the non-primary carer, be it a man or a woman, be legally guaranteed access for a certain number of nights a year unless it can be proven that they are unfit to do so. And I would like to see strict legal sanctions for the primary carer who stands in the way of this presupposition (at the moment if a mother keeps her child away from the father against a court order, there is very little the court can do about it).
