Italy begins stripping same sex parents of their legal connection to their children LINK

Following the election of the new far right government in Italy in October 2022, they have begun the process of stripping parental responsibility from one of the parents and removing their name from the birth certificate. The issue is reported in more depth in LGBTQ Nation LINK . Although this not a legal possibility in the UK, far too many separated parents find themselves limited to meaningless “contact arrangements” such as a monthly card or small gifts and living apart from their children. We often hear of children taken into care without one parent with PR being informed. In FNF we often have members who were unaware they were never registered as the father of their child. In the UK 22% of households with children are single parent households while the European average is 15% LINK
