In my own case, having researched the matter very carefully, and having unearthed a
great deal of contemporary & corroborating
psychological and sociological scientific evidence demonstrating the
harm caused to children as a result of overseas parental separation, I felt that I had an absolute duty to my children to fight the application.
As a result bold interventions, both legal as in child protection practice, to prevent
greater psychological and emotional
harm to children in severe cases is still to be implemented.
