The BBC claims that:
bbc.co.uk - Relationships - Hitting Home - Men as victims of domestic violence: "The family courts deal with all child contact disputes on a case by case basis. Evidence of domestic violence will be taken into account and decisions about residence and contact made accordingly."
Sadly this is not true. It has never been true. Police are reluctant to arrest mothers and will often remove the father from the home. Judges are reluctant to send mothers to prison. Courts give mothers the children 97% of the time.
If you are a victim of domestic violence you need sufficient bodily damage to put the woman in prison. Then change the locks and move house. Hoenstly it is the only way to keep the children safe. Also get a good solicitor because when she gets out there is a good chance she will demand the children and get them. Sorry men, the courts hate you as much as the feminists do.
