Broken Promises, Broken Families
Fading Bonds is a hard-hitting documentary that dives deep into the underbelly of the UK family court system, the child maintenance system, and false allegations. This film sheds light on a disturbing reality:
a system designed to protect families is, in many cases, causing immense harm.
Driven by Passion, Fueled by Facts
The team behind Fading Bonds is united by a deep commitment to exposing the flaws in the UK family court system, particularly regarding child maintenance. While we may not disclose personal experiences of every individual involved, we are driven by a collective passion for justice and a desire to see a functional system that supports families.
THe damaged innocents
In the bitterness of high-conflict separations, children become the invisible casualties. Bedrooms shrink from safe havens to battlegrounds, echoing with the strain of adult arguments. Birthdays become bittersweet reminders of divided families, smiles tinged with a gnawing fear of disappointing one parent or the other. Trust, once a foundation, crumbles under the weight of trauma, leaving them adrift in a sea of conflicting narratives. These are the children of the family court, their innocence sacrificed on the altar of adult anger, their hearts bearing the invisible scars of a love fractured in two.
