The Custody Minefield is an essential self-help work for mothers, fathers and grandparents experiencing separation conflict and wishing to resolve issues involving residence, contact and legal parental responsibility. In 2006, we started this project with the aim of providing a resource for parents and families irrespective of gender, and with a goal of removing the feelings of helplessness that so many families feel when caught up in these situations. Since the book and website were launched at the end of 2006, we've had more than 25,000 unique visits and now average 2000 visits a month. The Custody Minefield Book page includes a table of contents and independent reviews and you can order a copy by clicking on the cover image. More than 288 questions related to family law, legal proceedings, helping children cope, and handling crisis situations are answered. Follow discussions on Family Law via our Media Watch service and see how attitudes in the media are changing. Camilla Cavendish's recent series of articles in The Times are recommended reading. READ OUR RESPONSE TO THE GOVERNMENT regarding the GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS PETITION. 51 Members of Parliament and 7 charities/organisations support changes to the law for grandparents. Please make use of our support forums, legal factsheets, the media watch service, links to legislation, campaign news, useful links, surveys and information concerning shared residence. You might also want to read some of the author's articles. *** NEW CONTENT - LEAVE TO REMOVE - SAMPLE STATEMENT AND ARGUMENTS TO SUPPORT A CASE FOR DISMISSAL OF AN LTR APPLICATION *** LTR SAMPLE STATEMENT |

 | Steve Moseley's daughter, Savanah-Jade Dawson, has been taken to live in Australia by her mother and her new husband. It was against Steve and his family's wishes. The mother and her new partner promised under oath that she would let Savanah keep regular contact with her real father Steve and left a phone number and PO Box address with him. It is possible that her name has been changed to Savanah-Jade Gray. The mobile number is now disconnected and there has been no reply to the many letters sent to the PO Box address. Steve now has no idea where Savanah is and neither he nor any of his family has had any contact with her since September 2007. Please join Steve's Facebook campaign to find his daughter. |
