Whatever happened to the Children Act....,
By Laura Summerfield (Bristol) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Court HELL (Paperback)
As a woman of nearly 40, I have had to live through the pain of never seeing my father or ever knowing him because my parents divorced when I was a baby. I was in tears reading Family Court Hell. The Children Act in 1989 was intended to stop these blights on people's lives, but reading both Mark Harris and his daughter Lisa's accounts of what happened to them proves the Act changed nothing. If the mother wants rid of the father, these dreadful men and women who work as judges seem to facilitate it. As always, only the lawyers gain from what takes place, I think this book with the author's suggestions, should become a vehicle to change the law.

The Story of A Brave Father who Waged War on the Family Courts,
By Charlotte Brambletye (Surrey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Court HELL (Paperback)
Mark Harris is the original Matt O'Connor. He was not prepared to suffer the family courts in silence and they sent him to jail as a result. His tireless efforts to shame judges into making the right decisions and his constant battle to protect his family makes shocking reading. Lisa's contribution to the book brings the children's suffering into focus. The naming and shaming is brave - but that typifies the man who would not desert his daughters.

Worst case scenario,
By
This review is from: Family Court HELL (Paperback)
If you're about to embark on a family court procedure involving your children, I would strongly advise NOT reading this book beforehand. I started reading this after 6 court appearances over a 10 month period of trying (successfully) to stop my daughter from being relocated overseas by ex and her new husband, and reading this beforehand would have destroyed my already fragile frame of mind at the time. It is such a stressful book, that I could only handle a couple of chapters at a time.
I think Mark Harris deserves respect for exposing some of the worst aspects of family courts. Whilst me and my daughter have been lucky to have a perceptive judge, Mark's experience makes the judicial system in this usually progressive and great country look like a sick joke, and I really hope that his effort will have gone some way in changing the norm where the family courts mostly seem to side with the interfering, deceiving parent who only pursue their own selfish interests.
