(Not Moderated)
Subjects for discussion
UK society, law and practice as it affects fathers and their
children. Examples could include:
- Gender equality in law and practice
- The term "absent parent" considered offensive
- Welfare reports after separation
- Sympathetic solicitors
- Fathers in second marriages
- Psychological research findings
- Bogus ouster orders.
Items about the Child Support Agency, which is more concerned
with finance and politics than children, are to be referred to
the specific newsgroup uk.gov.agency.csa created for that purpose.
Crossposting is allowed to no more than 4 other groups with items
that may be of direct relevance to those groups.
Advertising
Not allowed, except by the convention of signatures not exceeding
a maximum of 4 lines of 72 characters. Occasional genuine personal
recommendations are acceptable, eg for solicitors known to be
sympathetic and helpful.
Binaries and HTML
Not allowed. Messages should be in plain text, with simple pointers
to coded or binary items elsewhere if applicable.
Moderated
This group will not be moderated. It is important that there is
an uncensored forum for the expression of strong feelings arising,
for instance, from the denial of contact or justice to parents.
Contributors are of course responsible for anything they post.
