Making the Family Justice System Just for our Children

[Natasha13]

Hello,

I am a single mum who has gone through the divorce process and I also have a legal background, which gave me an unusual look at the family courts as I went through them. My experience convinced me that the system needed to be given some TLC and so I started two projects called Divorce Manual and Researching Reform; they are dedicated to telling families what the process is really like and ultimately to make the system better.

The sites have the latest Family Law news as well as podcasts with professionals and families who are or have been a part of the system. There are also articles to read and free resources to use.

Whilst the sites do not promote divorce, they are there to offer support for families at a time when they need it most. If you would like to view these sites, you can find links to them below.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these projects and what changes you would like to see to make the system more just for families and children especially.

Good on you Natasha, keep up the good work and best of luck.

Well justice is sooo blind The family courts in B,HAM were quicker to listen to a pack of lies and preconceptions from a crooked social worker who did not like the mother,more than me the mother. The judge accepted the lies and assumptions at the fact finding hearing. However the reality is that the children are now living with dad and are clearly unhappy, as a mum I have noticed behaviour changes so the courts really let my children down. Oh and when it is said that social services are not fit for purpose, this could not be any truer. I went to court over 3 years and told the truth from start to finish the dad lied through his nose so much he even forgot halve the lies he told, so he won custody based on lies is this what you call justice. Please tell this to my children when they are older, thats if they can pyscologically handle this after living with a drunken dad for so long.
