She believes that firms marketing themselves on the idea that dads get a raw deal could be dangerous. “The premise is engendering distrust in the system and I think that’s unfortunate,” she said. “It’s engendering a view that has no factual basis.”

In other words, feminists don't want men pointing out that the family court system doesn't work for them, because it's working pretty superbly for women, and if people start paying attention men might start getting a fair shake, which we can't have

Ms Jacklin said it was “not true” that the family courts were biased against men. “The court’s focus is on the welfare of the child.”

Ms (what a surprise) Jacklin isn't wrong. The court's focus is on the welfare of the (adult female) child.

There is a divorce firm in Dallas run by female attorneys who help men in a divorce.

Their commercials are half serious, half a jab at women who file for divorce (paraphrasing: "I am a woman and I know how the female mind works in a divorce").

In fact, now that I think about it, I think there are 2 such firms in the DFW who support men only in divorce. There is one Barry Sanders supports as well.

I'll be impressed if the government doesn't shut this place down within 6 months. Femnists can't stand any service geared to just men.

Awesome. I recently did IT work at a woman only divorce firm here where I live so its nice to see the opposite.

there's lots of "men only" divorce law firms in my area, they advertise on TV and radio nonstop.

Is this a new thing in London?

has said firms like his are “about empowering men, not bashing women.”

Funny, when was the last time you heard a women's "charity" feel compelled to say they are just helping womens, not bashing men?

I wish this was in my London as in London Ontario. I just went through my first court date for custody and I was torn apart. If that were anything more than a case conference I would have been in a lot of trouble. The judge was immediately on my (ex)wife's side spouted all kinds of mom's are better than dad's bullshit. There is massive distrust and it needs to be pointed out and it needs to challenged. I hope this firm helps.

“Divorce for men firms are about engendering in men a feeling that they're being treated unfairly by a prejudiced legal system, and then galvanizing them to actively fight for as much as they can hold onto. In some cases, that can be fairly characterized as “niche” legal work, but, in others, it might also be called exploitative.”

If men did get a fair shake in divorce courts things like this wouldn't happen right? Cause and Effect? My brother is being put through the ringer by his X wife, and she's the one who went out and had an affair and busted up the family. So yeah, until such time as there is fairness in the divorce courts - By men for men law firms - I wish you much success.

Shame this isn't just for ANY person feeling let down by family courts.. It would be more fair and could highlight the inequality in custody cases.

(I assume there are a fair few women who feel they have been hard done by in terms of custody)
