This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you are concerned about family court proceedings, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Your petition refers to "laws for secrecy regarding aspects of family", but it's not clear what you mean by this.

Training for judges is a matter for the judiciary, not the Government or House of Commons.

Your petition raises concerns about reference to "parental alienation" in courts, but decisions about the arguments to deploy in court, and how to take these into account in coming to a judgement, are a matter for the courts, not the Government or House of Commons. Courts are already required to consider the best interests of a child when making child arrangement orders.

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