Background
We urge the government to reform the family court system by addressing gender bias, ensuring fair treatment for men in custody and visitation cases, reviewing the use of the balance of probabilities standard, providing mental health support for men in family court proceedings, and making legal aid more accessible to fathers facing financial hardship. These reforms are essential to ensure fairness, protect men’s rights, improve the well-being of families, and create a more just system for all.
