Appeal court ruling provides hope for fathers - Family Law - Andersons Solicitors Nottingham

A court decision limiting access to your child is a devastating blow for any father.

Thankfully, it is possible to appeal against such a ruling and win.
That’s what one father did when a court refused to allow him to have increased contact with his five year old.

The man already saw the child every other weekend and once a week after school. He wanted to do better than that and applied for an increased contact and a shared residence order.

When the application was refused he took the case all the way to the Court of Appeal. This time he was successful with the Appeal Court saying the original judge was wrong in law.

Hopefully most parents won’t have to go that far to gain access to their children. But it shows there is no need to give up hope and it is possible to go to court and win, even if the first court decision goes against you.
