I think we need to clarify our terms here. I've no idea about courts denying *any* access and how often that goes on. The piece by Decca Aitkenhead you link to says (and let's just presume that Decca Aitkenhead had managed, for once, to get the fatcs straight) it's 1% of cases.

What I'm talking about is agreeing on the amount of access and, especially, who gets custody. I'm going on anecdotal evidence, but coming from numerous parents of both sexes, and they all report that there's a presumption for the mother. They say that their solicitors all expect it to be that way, which is perhaps indicative of a wider survey.

The only time I've known it tilt the other way was a man whose ex-wife's new bloke had twice been reported to the police for violence towards her children.
