Having previously been involved in a police force I have had the unfortunate opportunity "to see over both sides of the fence". However, when my own divorce was finalised (many years ago) I was endlessly hounded for child maintenance by the nameless government lackeys, trying to garner my meagre wages for many months. It culminated in written threats of imprisonment if I failed to comply. I invited them to come and arrest me as threatened, and it was only then that they realised I HAD 100% CUSTODY of the children and was raising them on my own. The offices in "control" of these situations do seem to have a tunnel vision with regard to marriage breakdowns and unfortunately it IS gender biased.
