Children And Break-Up Of Families

EDM number 96 in 2000-01, proposed by Kerry Pollard on 13/12/2000.

That this House regrets the harmful effect on children of the break-up of family relationships; suggests that, before the break-up of a family takes place, parents should be encouraged to enter into a contract regarding care of their children; believes that a parent intending to leave his or her children should be obliged to apply in writing for leave to do so, outlining their intentions regarding visiting and financial support; and urges parents to recognise the right of children to continuity of care in their lives.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
