excellent article Tina, completly confirms everything I've observed working with my separated male clients! I'm going to print it up as a hand out. Hope you're well!
At the first FCoA after my children were returned to Australia under the Hague Convention return Order, the judge in her opening statements claimed that I’d committed DV against my ex-wife, including holding a knife to her throat while she held one of our children (secret communications between my ex-wife and court prior to this hearing).
Later in the hearing the judge said, “If you (pointing first to me and then to my ex) don’t reach agreement by consent, I’m not going to give you (pointing to me) any visitation”.
I actually managed to get 3 friends to agree to supervise. At first my ex strenuously objected to these people being accepted, but as I pointed out, they were known to the kids, their kids went to school with and were friends of our kids, and that prior to the kids being Internationally Abducted by her, my ex had no problem with our kids having play-dates and sleep-overs at these peoples places.
No only was my “having to be supervised because I was a risk to my children” deliberately weaponised against me by my ex and the misandristic ICL /FRW /MRW, my ex started gaslighting these people to convince them that I was the horror she created in her narcissistic mind, so that 2.5 years later at trial one of these people turned on me and lied under oath to support my ex’s false narrative.
