Teen joins Fathers prison protest
Fathers 4 Justice protesters have joined the 13-year-old son of a jailed man outside Bristol’s Horfield Prison, to demand his release.
Barrister Michael Cox, 43, from Southampton was jailed for 42 days last week for failing to pay £43,000 owed to the Child Support Agency.
He maintains that, because his children live with him half of the time, he should not have to pay.
Nigel Ace, for Fathers 4 Justice, Bristol, said they want him released.
“We are doing our best to make plenty of noise to alert the public of the injustice in the family courts and also with CSA,” he told reporters at the protest, which was attended by about 30 supporters.
In court Mr Cox’s ex-wife, Lesley Peach, begged magistrates not to jail him, arguing that she would not be able to work without Cox looking after their children.
Mr Cox is a legal adviser to Fathers 4 Justice.
