Allow appeals in family court and the right to request a new judge
Allow appeals in family court for decisions made within the trial and for a person to be allowed request a new judge if you feel they are prejudice and can be backed up with evidence.
I believe everyone should have a right to appeal. If criminals can appeal why can't a parent fighting for their children or their own protection? The family courts are failing multiple parents every day yet the decision is final. There is no way to get a second opinion or to get a re-trial. I want parliament to allow appeals within family court without there needing to be a strict criteria to follow.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is already possible to appeal a decision by a family court if you have legal grounds. You can find out more about appealing against a court decision in family cases here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/appeal-a-court-decision-civil-and-family-appeals-ex340/appealing-against-a-court-decision-in-civil-and-family-cases-ex340
It is up to the courts, not the Government or House of Commons, which judge hears a case, but if you're unhappy with a judge you can complain about them: www.gov.uk/complain-judge-magistrate-tribunal-coroner
