Shoo, the woman in question has I believe been involved in anti-divorce campaigning for many years.

She has been actively and *successfully* involved in many cases which have resulted in the prevention of children from married families, being taken into care. Seems to be a bit of a personal hobby horse for her...

From what I've read the mother received FUNDING to fight her case (and won it), from whatever Catholic organisation this woman currently works with.

A constitutionally supported Catholic agenda, which sees it's own anti-divorce dogma, to be of more importantance than the welfare of children in abusive married families, unfortunately greatly empowers such meddling small-minded people as this. It looks like social workers in such cases, have their hands somewhat tied.
