went to a family law court solicitor on day one.

went to a open mens sitdown forum/regular meeting on day 4 (some 5 months ago).

every bloke in the place had been reemed by female magistrates.

sat down with a serving magistrate recently at the pub across the road from the courthouse after hours n he told my why men are still getting screwed daily by docs n the system. there is still a 1950's idea amomgst the women (who form 90 percent of the family law staff everywhere) that kids shld be with mothers.

sounds like u got lucky gav. I am going in n thru the process right now n nothing has shown me yet in any way shape or form that the 1950's attitudes haven't receeded. when the women don't turn up for the fathers turn with the kids, no one does a thing, when the husband keeps the kids the police turn up. a very sad state of affairs in QLD still right now today.

Docs warn mums, docs charge fathers with the most outrageous things to keep kids with mothers. system is a sham.
women get free legal at magistrates court n family law, men have to pay. say no more. sexist n blatantly biased.

if I took your post as being patronising Gav, I am sorry. But you have made a few good points. thanks.
