Court action puts battle for fathers’ rights centre stage

WHETHER it’s Batman climbing up Buckingham Palace or the British Home Secretary demanding access to a child he claims is his, fathers’ rights have exploded on to the front pages.

A staggering one quarter, or three million, British children have experienced their parents splitting and up to 200,000 parental couples separate each year.

David Blunkett, of course, does not fall in to that category and his ex-lover Kimberly Quinn maintains he is not the father of her two-year-old son.
