Strategy

I have read all the aims and pledges and manifestos etc and support the general thrust. Nevertheless I see some things that need to be done by any organisation that aims to assist fathers achieve justice and parity.

Fathers face two distinct issues whan separation and divirce occur. The first is a strategic appreciation. They need to know what is coming and what they need to be doing. They need options for dealing with the present situation and the future unfolding of events so that they can take control and gain directional advantage. Currently they are advised predominantly by lawyers who are part of 'the system'. The usual strategy suggested is 'roll over and take it like a man 'cause there's nothing you can do'. There are things that can be done and we need a 'kit' showing precicely what the options are and how to go about putting them in place. A knowledge of the law and of human behaviour is needed.

Second, as far as children are concerned, the issue of contact orders must be 'managed' rather than have orders thrust upon the father during an emotional tsunami. We need a set of 'ideal' orders to put on the table rather than let lawyers (hers in particular) dictate terms.

Additionally we need templates for evidence aggregation for fathers to take out restraint orders at the earliest opportunity before she does. Restraint order encouragement is the very first thing a mother recieves as advice.

The new laws in Tasmania might offer a way in, in this respect. One might think that these only affect Tasmania but rest assured, the other States will soon adopt them.

For F4J to be successful we need a secretariat and a whole heap of pre-determined options ready for client-members.

I am happy to lend support for bringing attention to the dire state of the Family Law and the associated Courts, but men are practical and need on the spot help in dealing with the Regiments and regimes ranged against them.

Any thoughts from anyone on this?

I chose a radical and different method to bring attention to the details and sequence of events. I opened up a webblog and named names, addresses, and dates.
A webblog has an advantage over a diary -- It can't be stolen so long as you have your password.

And where a diary feels like sneaking around to tattle, on a public webblog you are putting your actions and feeling out there for others to see and comment on as much as the others you write about.

The most effective tool of abuse -- of any kind -- is secrecy. Take that tool away.
