Petition Action

Reform family court proceedings

Petition Details

Reform how family court proceedings function. In particular for those of domestic abuse, controlling and coercive behaviour and those who weaponise court proceedings to continue to abuse. Proceedings should be transparent and public. Judges should be trained to identify abusers

Additional Information

Poor, badly informed decisions are being made by judges in respect to abuse victims and the care of their children. Unevidenced allegations of parental alienation and pro contact judges force contact where it is often not safe and not desired by the child. Proceedings need to be more 'child's wishes' centric and have transparency. Judges and barristers should receive more detailed information and training regarding the abusive use of family court systems and how to identify these situations

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you would like to see some aspects of family court proceedings change but we are not sure what specific measures you would like to Government to take.

You could have petition calling for family court proceedings to be in public if that's what you'd like to see happen.
