- 126 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 258 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)
Require that separating parents both automatically have equal, 50/50 time with their children, unless a parent has a relevant criminal conviction. We think children need both parents and it would help stop parental alienation, and having parents in a child's life helps them better progress in life.

- 49 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 237 - 29 added in the past 24hrs)
Update the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 so adult children can claim bereavement damages for their parent’s death. We feel this current law excludes many families, is outdated, and needs reform to reflect modern family relationships.
