Sample text

Accordingly fathers in Group One who were in regular contact and paying maintenance might represent fathers who are most involved and committed to their children. Fathers in Group Four who had no contact and were not paying maintenance might represent the opposite extreme.

His wife left him because she could not cope with the madness that surrounded him, and it was many years before he was able to see his children again.
