Reforming Family Courts, CAFCASS & the System Failing Our Children, welcome to the Circus..
We are parents, families, and citizens from all walks of life — united by one truth: the UK Family Court system is broken. Behind closed doors, the private family law system, including CAFCASS, HMCTS, CMS, headed by the Ministry of Justice, operates without transparency, accountability, or child-focused outcomes. We believe it is not just failing — it is immoral, financially driven, and deeply harmful to the very families it claims to protect.
Using secretive hearings, gagging rules, and an entrenched legal elite, this system exploits you at your most vulnerable. It dangles your children as leverage, dragging cases out for profit — not resolution. We ask: Where is the justice in that?
We’re calling for peaceful protest, open discussion, mass civil acts of disobedience and public accountability. You’ll find us speaking out on Spotify, social media, and on the streets — not in violence, but in solidarity. We believe family breakdown shouldn’t be a business model, and that parents have a right to speak freely about their own lives, especially when it involves the welfare of their children.
This isn’t just about courts — it’s about reclaiming democracy, demanding public inquiries, and ending the secrecy that protects systemic abuse. Why are judges shielded from scrutiny? Why are decisions affecting children made in silence? Why is the public barred from knowing what really happens in family courtrooms across the UK?
We pay for this system with our taxes, but we have no say in how it works. It’s time for that to change.
If you’ve ever felt powerless, silenced, or robbed of your parental role — you’re not alone. Together, we will shine a light on the truth, expose the failures, and fight — peacefully, publicly, and persistently — for a family justice system that actually serves children.
The ever ambigious Cafcass..
When you apply to family court, CAFCASS are the first to get involved — not a local authority, not a neutral charity, but a state-funded social work agency paid by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the same people running the courts HMCTS!. Despite claiming independence, CAFCASS and HMCTS are both funded by the MOJ — which means your taxes fund both the court and the people influencing the court’s decisions.
Each year, £140 million is handed to CAFCASS, yet the public never voted them in, and they've never been put to public tender. Over 92% of their staff are female, and in 97% of cases, they recommend children live with their mother — a setup that often sees fathers paying to see their own kids in state-approved contact centres often ran by ex cafcass workers and solicitors, sometimes at rates of £150 per hour.
CAFCASS social workers help set the narrative for judges — but who holds them accountable? Why are parents automatically referred to them without choice? Why aren’t local authorities or independent bodies like the NSPCC involved instead or ISW's?
Even more concerning, CAFCASS offices have been found displaying leaflets on rape, cocaine, and cannabis in waiting areas for children — framing a narrative before the child even speaks.
And if you challenge them? They have legal teams ready to fight back — not to protect children, but to protect the system.
We believe it’s time to ask real questions:
If the family court is truly about children’s best interests — let’s start with transparency, accountability, and reform.
The Legal Circus – Who Really Benefits?
Everyone loves a sideshow… but not this one.
In the world of family law, the performers are dressed in robes — solicitors, barristers, and eventually, judges.
Almost all family court judges (except lay magistrates) come from the same pool: former solicitors and barristers, appointed by the government. It's a closed loop, and it profits from your pain like all civil litigation it is there to take your money, life and soul.
These legal professionals switch roles daily — defending an abuser one day, representing a child the next. It’s not about truth, it’s about winning. The system rewards narcissism, strategy, and money — not morality or justice.
We say: don’t waste thousands on a solicitor. Use a legal drafting service for your bundles and, if possible, go Direct Access to a barrister. Always research them thoroughly, and if they’re not fighting for you — replace them. They work for you.
If you’re self-representing (a Litigant in Person), know the system is stacked against you. So be smart: learn the law, study case law, and use it in your statements. A strong McKenzie Friend and AI can help, but nothing beats being informed and empowered.
They don't know more than you — they’ve just studied it longer. Now it’s your turn.
The Legal Circus: Robes, Clowns & Closed Door..
Welcome to the Family Court Circus, where the performers wear wigs instead of face paint — but the act is the same. Solicitors, barristers, and judges take centre stage, juggling roles, spinning narratives, and always keeping you in the dark.
Almost every family judge was once a barrister or solicitor, handpicked by the government, not the people. It’s a rigged show — a legal elite judging itself, with no real accountability.
We have evidence they sit with Cafcass workers in shared offices, train with them and have off the record chats with them and the opposing sides solicitor to plan and spin cases in the favour of the state! Their focus is on getting their 150K a year wages from tax payers without any decision making so they rely fully and solely on one Cafcass worker
And the judges? Think of them as the ringmasters, but many act more like clowns — out of touch, out of reach, and playing games with your family's future. They're part of a system that prioritises procedure over protection, and profit over people.
One day these legal professionals defend abusers, the next they claim to protect children. It's not about truth — it's about winning, billing, and moving on. That’s why we say:
The system is designed to wear you down. Learn fast, stay sharp, and remember — they aren’t better than you. They just know the playbook. Now, so do you.
Who’s the abuser, and who’s the victim? In today’s family courts, that question isn’t always answered with facts — it’s often decided by ideology, bias, and buzzwords, re watch this 80's classic music video for some insight.
Imagine a woman throwing knives near a man’s head, stalking him, leaving threats behind. If the roles were reversed, he'd be arrested on the spot, deemed a risk, remanded, and painted as a monster. But when the abuse doesn’t fit the state's narrative, it’s ignored — especially if the victim is male.
“Safeguarding” wasn’t even used in children's law until the 2000s. Originally created for vulnerable adults, it was repurposed by Children’s Services and now appears in nearly every private law case, often with zero factual basis. It's become the perfect tool to control contact, mask false allegations, and create state-sanctioned parental alienation.
For every man who harms a woman, there’s a woman who harms a man. For every story of a father failing his child, there’s a mother doing the same — but only one narrative dominates headlines, courtrooms, and government guidance. Why? Because it’s easier to push state-funded agendas when society is divided and distracted.
Men are often too proud or too scared to report abuse. The system shames them. It doesn’t believe them. Meanwhile, CAFCASS encourages mothers to make allegations with no evidence — and the court listens.
The legal definition of domestic abuse is so broad now that:
CAFCASS and HMCTS are now judge, jury, and social commentator — not law enforcers. These are civil trials based on probability, not proof beyond reasonable doubt. Meanwhile, the CPS often finds no criminal offence, but family court punishes you anyway.
This is not justice — this is control.
Domestic abuse is real — but it should be dealt with by the Police and CPS, not CAFCASS and secretive courts. When we blur the lines, we hurt real victims — male and female. We also hurt children, who are left voiceless in a system obsessed with control, not care.
During the pandemic, the elite broke their own rules while we grieved, isolated, and suffered. They laughed, profited, and protected their friends. It’s the same in family court — they win, we lose, and children pay the price.
They want men and women arguing online, so we don’t look up and realise who’s really in control. But there are more of us than them. The only way forward is unity, truth, and peaceful resistance.
Cut out the media. Turn off the TV. Ask questions. Learn your rights. Talk to each other. Stop believing everything they say about domestic abuse, about men, about family separation.
Abuse has no gender. Children have two parents. The state has no right to own your family.
The public image of CAFCASS is a carefully crafted illusion. The truth? They are not independent, not child-focused, and certainly not trusted by families. Their priority is simple: money.
If your child is under five, they often won’t even speak to them. If over five, they’ll “interview” them — often leading, coaching, and planting narratives. We’ve seen it firsthand.
At one CAFCASS office, we witnessed something shocking: leaflets on rape, drugs, and sexual violence on full display where children wait. What message does that send before they speak to a stranger about mum or dad? It’s grooming — psychological manipulation at best.
CAFCASS was pushed into law in 2001, despite mass public and professional opposition. It was never asked for by families. It was created to shift blame and generate revenue — disproportionately targeting fathers, under the guise of “child welfare.”
Make no mistake: they are matriarchal, misandrist, and institutionally biased. Even politicians like Theresa May and Ann Widdecombe have called CAFCASS a waste of public money — yet they still exist. Why? Because they feed the machine: HMCTS, CMS, and the legal system that profits from your family’s pain.
When you apply to family court, CAFCASS will contact you without warning. You don’t have to engage. Just say no. Hang up.
Instead, you can:
CAFCASS has failed children for 23 years. Their reports are often inaccurate, biased, and damaging. Genuine positive feedback is almost impossible to find — unless it’s coming from their own staff.
If you believe in fairness, accountability, and child welfare, it’s time to stand up and say:
“We do not consent to CAFCASS.”
The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) isn’t about children — it’s about money. Run by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), CMS acts as a state-backed debt collector, charging a 20% fee to the non-resident parent just to handle their own payments.
If any private company did this, it would be called fraud, coercion, or illegal money collection. But because it’s the government, it’s rebranded as “child maintenance.”
Out of around 1 million CMS payers, over 800,000 are men. Many more are coerced into “pay-to-see” private deals, threatened with family court if they don’t comply — all while knowing the system overwhelmingly favours the resident parent, usually the mother.
CMS will demand money immediately when contacted by the resident parent — with no investigation into how custody was obtained, even if it was through alienation, obstruction, or family court bias.
If the non-resident parent can’t or won’t pay?
How does CMS know your income? Simple — the DWP, HMRC, and CMS all share your private financial data, without consent. And because CMS payments are factored into benefit calculations, it’s effectively a state subsidy for single-parent households — paid for by the other parent.
It’s not about child welfare. It’s about replacing state support with forced private payments:
Another tax. Another profit stream.
STOP PAYING.
Change your bank account. Refuse to be extorted.
They can’t jail us all.
It’s time to force reform through mass civil peaceful non-compliance, public exposure, and peaceful pressure.
HEARD THIS BEFORE?
The focus is on win or lose not the child, what if the legislitive starting point was equal and shared care and residency rather than a fight to get there, of course the 'winning' parent will love their Cafcass worker but at what cost?
If the other parent kills themselves is this ok? If the child has mental health issues because of the trauma is this ok Is it not a narcissictic and entitled person who makes such a statement?
Here is some independent research about CACFASS...
Let us vote on the need for Cafcass and Private Family Courts, let us make our own decisions, provide us with rigid, equal and fair parenting arrangements with the same sanctions for non complying parents the state impose on non paying parents, make it about children and families not money, remove state control.
Use our CICASS brand and message to protest local Courts, Cafcass offices and HMCTS buildings.
