Press Releases

Report on Use and Abuse of Non-Molestation Orders

FNF have published an analytical report on the increasing use of Non-Molestation Orders (NMOs) which have gone up by 37% since 2013/14 with a clear spike when Legal Aid was scrapped, other than in cases involving allegations of domestic violence. A further spike started last year after restrictions were placed on police bail. Determined FNF volunteer, Richard Nixon, has obtained regional and individual court data on NMOs issued through Freedom of Information requests that form the backbone of our report which you can download here. It is encouraging that The President of the Family Division, Lord Justice McFarlane and the Ministry of Justice have shown an interest in our report.

Celebrity Big Brother – a National Newspaper Looking for 'False Allegations' Stories

 

Following recent false allegations being made on Celebrity Big Brother, a national newspaper is looking for men who have been victims of false allegations of violence by women to talk about their experience. It is for a sensitive feature following the controversy in the Celebrity Big Brother house and aimed at showing the lasting effects such a false allegation can have. The person would need to be photographed and identified and available for a short phone interview on Friday, September 7th.

We appreciate this is a very sensitive issue and acknowledge that ongoing legal issues may mean it isn't possible to talk openly about this. Even if your family court case is over, you must consider any impact on your children of agreeing to appear in the media. 

If, however, these obstacles don’t apply to you then please contact Kate on 0787 292 1219  tomorrow morning.

In any case you may be interested to read the way we covered the story on Facebook here.

 

Housing and Shared Parenting in London

RDF Television (the makers of ‘Secret Life of 5 Year Olds’ and ‘Shop Well For Less’) are in the process of developing a non-transmittable ‘pilot’ for a major broadcaster which will be focusing on the varying difficulties faced by people living in London, including finding and having accommodation. They’d like to hear from a range of people on their opinions on having a lodger and whether this is something they may be willing to try, and take part in this project.

They are hosting a focus group in the format of a ‘Speed-Dating’ event where people considering renting out their room or lodging with others will come together to discuss and meet likeminded people. They are interested to hear how single parents or those who share ‘custody’ of their children manage living in London and what options they might explore in terms of living in London.

The event will be during the day (between 10am and 6pm) at a location in Islington, North London, on Thursday 20th September 2018. Expenses will be reimbursed.

If you are interested in attending and/or would like to know more about this project, please call Ellie from the Development team at RDF as soon as possible on 0207 013 4277 or email ellie.russell@rdftelevision.com.

Documentary

TV Documentary Help

Blakeway TV are looking to speak to people going through the divorce process for a new documentary. Are you at the beginning of separating? Do you think your marriage can be saved? Or have you just got your divorce papers through? Have you experienced parental alienation? Have you had trouble with the court system? Do you think divorce laws need to change? Blakeway would love to have a chat with you. At this stage there is no pressure to be on TV, it’s just a chat on the phone as part of their research. Please email natasha.henry@blakeway.tv with a brief description of your experiences and your phone number if you are interested in helping.

If you don’t mind being contacted by FNF at a later date to assist us with personal stories (made anonymous) or for us to provide details when we have other similar media enquiries the please feel free to copy your email to admin@fnf.org.uk.

Could help to get an FNF meeting running?

Anyone want to help get a Swindon FNF meeting running?

 

We met with the minister responsible for Child Maintenence last week at his constituency office at the Orbital Shopping Park in Swindon. His office is shared a well-maintained professional community space conveniently located next to a substantial out-of-town shopping centre with ample car parking space and bus routes. The centre is available to charities to use for free. If anyone is interested in getting a local FNF meeting going, then it seems likely that Justin Tomlinson MP would be happy to support it and might even pop-in to see how things are going. If you are interested, please get in touch on admin@fnf.org.uk or call us on 0300 0300 110.
