Here is a bit of pre festive news..that comes from Haaretz Newspaper...

1. In the UK, finance and access are 2 SEPARATE matters in Court and anyone arguing Finance for example in an access Court is unheard of.

2. But of course in that panel they are not in Court.

3. Mother's motivation to get back at Father and use the child as pawn is why groups like F4J exist...so the right argument used in Western Law Courts (The Children Act 1989) is "in the best interests of the children", namely WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN MUST MUST MUST MUST MUST COME FIRST (NO ARGUMENT ABOUT PARENT'S MOTIVES IS ALLOWED).... irrevocably so whoever is on that panel had better be urged by u lot to drop the Finance argument IMMEDIATELY. ..
You can forward this to them on my behalf.

4. If an equal stance between parents is taken there on seperation or divorce, it is more likely there will be less/no access problems and fathers will be delighted to contribute equally to the mother towards their children, given of course, assets have been equally split.

No one can argue in an equal stance!

New Panel recommends: Mothers should no longer be automatic custodial parent

By Ruth Sinai

Divorced mothers are no longer to receive automatic custody on children under the age of 6, a public committee plans to recommend in the coming months to the Justice Ministry.

Should the recommendations of the committee - which was appointed by former Justice Minister Tzipi Livini - be accepted, they could lead the way to the annulment of the current law, which has remained unchanged for the past 45 years.

The committee, headed by Professor Dan Schnit, former Head of the School of Social Work at Tel Aviv University, proposes to replace the current clause of the custody law. Under the new clause, both parents will automatically receive joint custody on children under the age of 6.

The recommendations were scheduled to be submitted this fall, but the committee is falling behind schedule because of internal disagreement between members, according to an official who is involved in the committee's work.

The official nonetheless said he believed the committee will recommend to change the current letter of the law. The official told Haaretz that the committee will hand in its findings and recommendation by the end of the year.

"There is not a single country in the Western World that still adheres to the clause affording mothers automatic custody," the official said. "The clause stems from the antiquated and classical family model where the mother takes care of the children, while the father goes off to work."

Some professionals whose work pertains to the committee believe that even if the recommendations of the committee are adopted, the courts would still be inclined to rule in favor of mothers, and award them more custody.

Na'amat women's organization, which is represented in the committee on reforming Israel's custody law, is opposed to changing the law.

"The law won't make more fathers suddenly take more responsibility over their children," says Attorney Talya Livni, the organization' s chairwoman. "This sort of change will require a gradual social shift. The revision of the law would, however, expose women to more extortion from men, who might threaten to file for custody unless their ex-wives agree to make material concessions. "

Presiding in the committee are experts and professional from many area, including Justice Ministry personnel, high-ranking officials in social services, religious experts academics, women's rights activists and parent organizations.

Those in favor of shifting to a joint-custody framework, however, think that offering divorced fathers more automatic custody could serve to encourage more fathers to assume a more active parenting role. They also hope the partnership between parents could serve to reduce the potential for conflicts within the family.
