C C Smale Family Lawyer

I have not posted anything on this website for a while.

I am supportive of men’s and fathers’ rights, which is something I have tried to express in some of the things I write.

A number of people have contacted me to say to say they are distrusting of the idea that any solicitor could work on the part of men under what they see as a corrupt system. Fathers4Justice, for example, discourage fathers from using a solicitor at all. I have also been contacted by someone who considers family law and those who practice it to be “Satanic” and I can promise that person that I took your point seriously and I read up on the things you emailed me and I thought about them for the past two weeks.

I just watched the second part of the BBC Fatherhood Season programmes.

Great viewing.

I am sceptical about the ever expanding definition of “domestic violence”. Here is Women’s Aid’s definition.

Oddly enough, “sulking” is included in the definition of violence according to Women’s Aid. “Lying to you” is also included in the definition, as is “witholding information from you”.

It becomes increasingly weird. “Having other relationships” is included in the definition of domestic violence.

It seems to me that the whole point depends on the context. Anyone who engages in another relationship cannot, as far as I can see it, complain if their partner checks up on them but then “checking up on you” is included in the definition of domestic violence, according to Women’s Aid.

I have been busy with other projects and the old was looking outdated, (I am a lawyer and not a computer expert).

Keep looking on here over the next few days and weeks as I develop my new website devoted to Family Law.
