  Synopsis Details Reviews  
John Wakefield is up to his eyes in debt, for which he has his estranged shopaholic wife Alice to thank. Throughout their relationship she has spent the money he has earned without thinking of the consequences. As if that wasn't bad enough, now she's trying to divorce him for what's left and deny him access to their young daughter Rose in the process. Bur he won't give her up without a fight.

Here's 2 Absent Fathers leads the reader through the wreckage of a messy divorce and the inhospitable jungle created by the family courts system and the Child Support Agency, as John fights tooth and nail to maintain contact with his daughter. The struggle is brought hysterically to life as the absurd manoeuvres that otherwise rational people often resort to in the midst of a divorce are vividly narrated in colourful language.

The family courts system and the CSA are treated with a scathing contempt for their apparently irrational distrust of fathers and their routine habit of denying men the right to see their children. The campaigning group Fathers 4 Justice feature heavily in the latter part of the book, and its escapades and aims are related with the benefit of the author's first-hand experience. Above all, a passionate case is made for the right of a divorced or separated father to continue to have access to his children.
