There is a long-standing principle that people should not be able to benefit from their own crimes. |
We agree that fathers need more protection for their rights as fathers. But we don't agree that the mechanism of equal custody and guardianship will serve the best interest of the child in the majority of family situations. |
We recommend that all decisions of a children's court pertaining to custody, guardianship or access should be subject to High Court review - at least where there are opposing parties involved. |
