Stop allowing domestic violence perpetrators to use the courts to abuse victims
The Family court system is dated and currently judges allow children of domestics abuse to be put at risk.Children are being let down on a daily basis. They allow contact with no risk assessments in place.
the judges don't consider the feelings of the victim of domestic abuse or the emotional impact that the abuse has had on the children.To the point they ignore advise from other agencies such as child services and cafcass

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, for example to change the law so that perpetrators of domestic violence are not allowed to cross examine their victims in family courts.
