The Danish Parental Responsibility Act of 2007 is regarded as violating human rights.

Articles, testimonies from real life and statements from professionals show that the Parental Responsibility Act had severe and negative effects for a large group of children and their mothers and some fathers too. The book illustrates the problematic dynamics that the legislation enabled.

In December 2018 the Danish Parliament decided to change the legislation and to close down the State Administration. On 1 April 2019 a new family court was instead established to deal with cases in this field.
