Fathers 4 Justice in the UK ~ Fathers' activist sues Ministry of Justice for £100,000

Good luck Jolly. The judges and politicians need a wake up call about the negative social engineering they have exacted on children and they have no one to blame but themselves. To be satisfied with what has happened in the past is to say they were right and those of us denied access for no valid reason is an abominable misuse of power for no reason other than perhaps a vindictive ex.MJM

A FATHERS' rights campaigner is launching a bid to claim back more than £100,000 he says he lost fighting an eight-year legal battle for access to his daughter.

The Herald revealed in August how Jonathan 'Jolly' Stanesby, 39, had secured joint residence to have equal care of his 10-year-old daughter after a high-profile wrangle with the family courts.

A founding member of the Fathers 4 Justice campaign group, he was jailed last year after camping out on deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman's roof dressed as a superhero.

But now Jolly, from Ivybridge, is taking his fight back into court – to claim back almost a decade's-worth of lost earnings and legal fees.

He described himself as 'emotionally drained' and said the gruelling eight-year process had forced him to give up work and sell land, leaving him crippled by debt.

Now settling into being a dad again, Jolly says he is looking to retrain for a new career and put some cash away for his daughter, and plans to do that by taking the Ministry of Justice to court for more than £100,000.

"A lot of what I've lost is priceless," he said. "The time my daughter missed out on you can't put a price on. Then you've got my loss of wages over four or five years, legal fees and all the phone calls since it began eight years ago.

"It's amazing how it all adds up. I'll never be able to put a figure on it."

Jolly is now submitting an application to Plymouth County Court in the hope of fixing a date for a directions hearing.

He said he would take his new battle as far as it would go.

Jolly admitted his long battle with the family courts, which began in 2001, had left him 'completely destroyed', but even more determined to raise awareness of fathers' rights.

"I've lost everything and now I've got to restart everything I'd done," Jolly said. "I've gone back 10 years in my life.

"I lost my job, they took my driving licence away, my credit rating was destroyed and I went to prison.

"That means I can never work in childcare, which is what I really wanted to do: but at the end of the day, I'm lucky.

"A lot of people don't fight the family courts, and at least now I get to see my daughter.

"All the time she's missed out on seeing me and all the things she's missed out on doing you can't put a price on. I used to keep animals and we'd go camping and all the things she'd love to experience.

"When you spend eight years going through this, you have to think about where the money's coming from to feed yourself.

"I've got to retrain, but it's not easy because I'm not a teenager any more," he said. "I've looked at going to university but it's very tough with the cost."

Jolly said a fellow-Fathers 4 Justice campaigner had spent £250,000 on legal fees during his own custody battle.

"Most people who go through the family courts are so exhausted they just want an end to it and to cut their losses," he added, "but the way I feel is, I've got a 10-year-old daughter with her whole life ahead of her and it's only fair I try and give something back to her. That's the reason I'm doing this."

• There is a great deal of misunderstanding by folks about what happens to the parents and a child upon separation and divorce. Let me simplify it for you. If you are a parent and love your children perhaps you can empathize. During the marriage parents are equal to their child. Upon divorce mum usually gets custody and dad is discarded as a visitor if he is lucky. He does continue to have to support his children even though he may be locked out of the house he lived in before hand. The ex wife gets vindictive for whatever reason - there are lots of them - and she denies him access. He has to go to court over a prolonged period to regain access but is often unsuccessful because the Judges are Eunuchs and won't enforce access. They will enforce non-payment of support for the child, however. This court process carries on for years in many cases just so dad can see his children. This does not cost the taxpayers money for his fight it costs him, in many cases, his life savings and sometimes his job if false accusations of abuse are made. The court process is emotionally draining and financially devastating. The only winners are the lawyers, if you can afford one, and the judges/court appointed acolytes. Some dads get fed up and walk away. Mum has won the day by her actions for selfish ends but the child has lost a parent, 50% of her/his genetic inheritance. Other dads, who also really care and love their children with a passion look at other choices and some take to civil disobedience because they see the bias, injustice, dysfunction and unfairness of the family law system and protest it just like other civil rights leaders. They are often impugned by others, as we see here on this thread, but history and their children will remember them as those who saw injustice and fought it - despite the personal cost including name calling by those with little understanding or they could well be those very same vindictive ex's. This fight is occurring in many countries around the world including mine and we will prevail to get a presumption of equal shared residency for fit parents in due course. If your Tories get in and you dump the Socialists it may be in a few years time. That is short compared to the fight by some over the last 20 years.

• Dickens Mr Bumble summed it up nicely in Oliver Twist- "The law is a ***".
  At least all the dads who've been wronged can look forward to the time when their kids are old enough to hop on the bus and visit them regardless of whether their mother likes it or not.

• I sincerely hope you succeed perhaps you will go on to give hope to the thousands of other parents that have had their lives wrecked by the family destroying corrupt courts. Children are not safe in the care system as we all know, so why the hell we continue to allow these criminals to have any power over our families is a mystery to me....

• right or wrong the system sucks , its loaded in favour of the mother who often only wants the child so she can claim all the benifits. and you do quite nicely if your a single mother.
  it took two to create the child so why can't more mothers allow more access to the father answer they have the power given to them in the courts. i suspect this chap went back to the courts again and again but got no help support from the courts just let the mother keep milking the system.
  i have neigbours who have spilt up they live 200 yds apart he is single she is single and they are together every day. but both claim single parent benifit its us idiot who are funding this government approved system.

• If this man's ex-partner had ever spoken out I suspect that she would be saying that he had plenty of contact with his daughter all along. Did he choose not to have contact on occasions because he was up to some pathetic attention seeking publicity event. What does such attrocious behavioiur model to his daughter - does he not think she would not be adversely affected by this? Most people do work whilst they are in court sorting such issues out - this was his CHOICE to use the public funding system and not work - and for what, so a parents needs can be prioritised over the welfare of the child. Selfish ********
  The newspapers should also be ashamed for not clarifying FACTS fully before publishing inaccurate, one-sided stories.

  ___________________
  I think this statement sums up the depth of your thinking and knowledge. You sound more like a feminist than a man, but then you can be both. It is relatively shallow and uninformed and reminds me of a nine year old boy who once yelled at me across the school yard "my dad can beat up your dad". Do your research bud - you will be surprised at what you find and then come back and debate intelligently. Otherwise stay quiet and atop embarrassing yourself.

• mike murphy, you are an idiot. Most single mums provide protective factors which reduce their childrens risk to psyco-social factors such as poverty. it is a fact that the formation of the family has little to do with a childs exposure to risk factors which can cause negative effects in their adult life. statistics can be used to almost prove anything including how many children are killed by their fathers after their relationship with the birth mother has ended. i for one am sick of people knocking single parents and blaming them for all of societies ill's. many children are better of without their fathers around. yes i agree that it is best for children to have the benefit of knowing and learning from both parents but it has to be accepted that this isnt always best for the child. I support the idea that most but not all children benefit from contact with both parents and feel desperatly sorry for the children who's fathers simply can't be bothered when they split from the mother. i also feel sorry for fathers who are prevented from seeing their children needlessly or when children are used as bargining tools for child support money. but really the idea that men protect their children from abuse by their mothers is idiotic and i suggest you spend some time improving your knowledge on the subject.

• @Tilley. Sorry to say Tilley but there are numerous negative social outcomes for children in single mother households from poverty, earlier promiscuity, greater chance of truancy, drug use, jail, etc. The list is quite long and knows no borders. It is well researched in Australia/New Zealand, North America and Europe. Judges, lawyers, politicians and it appears regular people like you are unaware of it. Study up and google for information.
  
  Keep in mind these are statistical averages as most children do fine but on balance if you check the demographics of prison populations you will find many grew up in a single parent family and the majority of rapists were raised by single moms. Children are safer and better socialized in two biological parent families, the next best is in a shared parenting environment of the bio mom and dad and then with a single dad. In the USA and Australia single moms are statistically the greater abusers and killers of children. Its a well kept secret that dads are hard wired as protectors of women and their children and not the abusers feminist literature and propaganda indicates we are.

• Good luck Jolly. The judges and politicians need a wake up call about the negative social engineering they have exacted on children and they have no one to blame but themselves. To be satisfied with what has happened in the past is to say they were right and those of us denied access for no valid reason is an abominable misuse of power for no reason other than perhaps a vindictive ex.

• be happy with wat u got and your future with your daughter. if you carry on fighting for the money u say u lost then you will spend more time doing that than with your daughter, you wasnt made to give up work, you chose to, it will over take your life again. i am very pleased for you as it took me 7 years of fighting to see my kids through the court and i worked right through it. i paid all my own costs as i belive that you cant put a price on your kids. i done the supervised visits, contact centers so i now wat u went through so dont let money over shaddow your reward. good luck for the future
