“It costs £200 to get an enforcement order, if the mother has been ignoring access agreements,” Emlyn Jones points out. “And many dads round here will struggle to find that. They can’t get legal aid any more with the new cutbacks. We estimate that it costs around £5,000 to go through the courts and demand a right to see their children if the mother is against it. If, as a society, we want more dads to be around more of the time, perhaps we might think about supporting them financially to fight for that in the courts. Instead, we seem to be dissuading them from seeking contact.”
