Can you be a good dad if you don't live with your children?

Dads, if you break up with your other half be warned, the law does not assume you should get shared access and it looks like it is going to stay that way.

A review of family law has recommended no legal right for dads or grandparents to have access to their children after a break-up.

Are you fighting a custody battle with your ex?

Do you live apart from your children? Do you still feel like a good Dad?

Did you have one-to-one care in labour?

Changes are happening in maternity services in Kent. We have reported on this programme there are plans to close the birthing units at Dover and Canterbury and move midwives to Ashford and Margate.

We hear about a 'roadshow' of consultations taking place over the next couple of months in East Kent.

The Trust say why they want to maintain high standards and ensure all mothers continue to get one-to-one care in labour.
