  1. Not aware of how things opperate in the UK with regard to contact arrangements. However one very clear racket is the huge increase in accusations of abuse following the withdrawal of “legal aid” in family court cases unless there was an accusation of abuse. When the MoJ looked into why the legal aid budget hadn’t fallen as expected they found some areas had seen a massive two fold increase reflecting, as they said certain legal firms advising clients to make these claims to get legal aid paid. This was a decade ago now but as far as I’m aware the legal aid bill continues to balloon as do the allegations, because we have to “believe women” even though the evidence is that there is a well understood perverse incentive in the system to lie.
