Reform the family law courts and processes

Petition Details

Family law system is outdated, it’s not fit for purpose and needs reform. To call for a reform will take time and this is not good enough. It needs to happen now.

Additional Information

Because another child shouldn’t have to die at the hands of a bad parent, rape victims should not have to co-parent with their rapist, abusers should stay clear from their victims and children.

Currently family law cases are mostly heard in magistrates courts which is not fit for purpose.
