Matt found it difficult keeping in touch with his children after his divorce

Matt O'Connor

Matt married Sophie in 1994 after knowing each other for about 6 months. Their son Daniel arrived 2 years later, and Alexander 18 months after that. At the time, Matt thought it was for keeps and that they would be together forever.

But after divorce, Matt found himself struggling to see his two sons. In fact, he found himself in conflict not only with his ex-wife, but also with what he regards as an unfair legal system.

For no reason that Matt could see Sophie stopped him seeing the boys.
