Here at MNHQ we are talking to the government about various issues and want to canvass opinion about a number of topics, including separating families.
The survey is open to any Mumsnetters who have ever separated from their spouses/ partners (whether married, unmarried or civil partnership) - and had children involved somehow
If this is you please answer the survey questions here.
As well as our eternal thanks - if you complete the survey and add your details at the end we will enter you into this months MN comps. NB: It's one entry per MNer per comp only so if you've already entered we will have to de-dup the list when it comes to selection time. Also - there's an additional prize draw for this survey where one winner who completes this survey will get a £100 Amazon voucher as a token of thanks.

thanks
PS If you've already done this survey via the panel please don't do it again.

done and looks very interesting and I would like to give something like this ago and see if it helps my ex be a bit more responsible towards his parenting duties. However, no doubt like everything else he would just refuse.

I genuinely can not believe that MN are doing this. How, precisely, do you plan on preventing abusive men using this as just another way to control their ex-partners and make them look unreasonable by them refusing to participate.
How do you plan on preventing abusive men from using it to gaslight their ex-partners?
And, precisely, which father's group are you in talks with? Because quite a few of them are incredibly dodgy.
Actually, this makes me really, really angry.

I'm horrified that MN is even considering touching this idea with a shitty stick. That's about all I can say without getting rude.

Who is the father's rights organisation you are talking to, Mumsnet?
