@Dominic Cooper I love these arguments that lawyers persist with. The reality is I have won more cases than I’ve lost and in fact I never lost my family case I just decided that there is no point trying to continue while the judge won’t enforce his own orders, and this is the point. You cannot keep hiding behind the 'justice is in the eye of the beholder' when evidence particularly in family matters is that shared parenting is always in the children’s best interest in all but the extreme exception. Yet lawyers continue to present an argument of separating one parent from their children, lawyers routinely present falsehoods you know are so, through a fear of losing a client and making arguments such as 'I’m acting on client instructions'.
It simply doesn't wash, if a client told you to jump off a bridge, would you?

This then creates a situation where it is clear that lawyers are unable for whatever reason to put the needs of the children first thus ignoring their clients demands in return for money. Even when you know in the end the outcome will be the same ie a share of parenting of some sort.... you however see lawyers filling their boots while the gravy train still exists, the latest iteration is all the ‘qualified’ mediators peddling non binding mediation. Solve this and there will be few LiP’s at all in the family court leaving space for more deserving matters.
