Having spoken in favour of CAFCASS when they were unfairly criticised, there have to be 'balancing items'

 I have been told by a Family Court Advisor in private law that in most cases both parents were perfectly good ones.

So it did not matter much which one the children were allocated to.

Well the recognition of gender equality is progress.

But the implication that there has to be one parent is, well, chilling.

The outcome in these situations should not be to toss for it (though that is probably a bit cheap with the attitude) but BOTH.
