Vulnerable families including victims of domestic abuse are unable to find adequate representation in the family courts because chronically low fees are driving barristers away from legal aid work, the chair of the @FamilyLawBar warns. Full interview 👉 https://t.co/7SRkrBcBeL

A child forced back into an abusive relationship by the family court learns that love is something you endure.
They will spend the rest of their life unlearning it.

They called it the new Child Focused Courts. They said the pro-contact culture was finished.
Then the first appeal reached the Court of Appeal. The new President of the Family Division wrote it down: the new model has not changed the law.
A mother asked the court not to put her children into direct contact with an abusive father. The family court ordered contact anyway. She appealed to the highest court in the land. The Court of Appeal ruled that the contact order must be left in place. What they corrected was the barring order that treated her like him.
A new process. A Child Impact Report. Trauma-informed language. And at the end of it, he still gets the time, and you are still the one who has to make it look like a safe and healthy relationship - when it never will be.
They can change the name on the court list. If the destination is still contact, it is the same system. Business as usual.

We tried to deliver my book to @andyburnham yesterday, thinking maybe if he read what survivors of #DellasLaw had to endure, he'd close this dangerous loophole

Totally understand the need to protect the Prime Minister, but who's protecting our kids???

🗣️ 'So many people have said to me, you have to look into the family courts.'

Sky's @Mollie_Malone1 explains how her investigation revealed failures in family courts and how women, particularly victims of abuse, feel 'shut out' of the system.

⚖️ CASE LAW: ENGLAND AND WALES 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
The court said an order would give a 15-year-old “emotional permission” to see his father, but he felt he was being forced.
Nine months of refusal later, the same judge discharged the contact order between the 15 year old boy and his father. Of course, the mother was ordered to uphold the order, which she couldn't with a teenager who voted with his feet. The father sought to punish her via enforcement applications.
But the order itself had become the problem, not the solution.
He said he’d be more likely to go if nobody forced him to do it. District Judge Anthony recognised this and made the right call, by discharging the contact order.
In my book, I reveal the machinery of forced relationships, and how that can be the damage in itself. You cannot court-order a relationship into existence. You cannot timetable love. All private human relationships should be based on consent.

For the last year I have been working with @SkyNews investigating the Family Court. With thanks to @Mollie_Malone and Valerie Hamill for seeing the importance of this investigation. @HWistrich @centreWJ @GoldsmithChambs @voice4victims @UNSRVAW

[Natalie Page @NataliePage]

🚨Sky News has gone inside the secret family courts.
A mother they call Laura says she was raped and abused. She disclosed it. There was a non-molestation order. The court process still turned on her.
She fled with her son. She was extradited. She is in prison for child abduction. He is in care.
From her cell: “I was targeted, manipulated, silenced, threatened by the system.”
She takes responsibility for breaking the order. That does not make the system innocent.
This is what happens when private law is allowed to run as a closed shop. Abuse becomes “allegations.” Protection becomes “alienation.” Flight becomes a crime. The child is placed with the state instead of the parent who tried to get him to safety.
The new President of the Family Division now says the culture has to change. I have been saying that since the files first started arriving. I've spoken to many mothers in this position.
Secrecy was supposed to protect children. It has instead protected the institution.
Protecting a child is not abduction. Treating it as such is how the system arms the abuser.
Read it. Watch it.

A public artwork can be criticised without describing the black woman it depicts as “filth”. The language is deliberately dehumanising, misogynistic and racially charged. Coming from an MP, it is utterly disgraceful. What has happened to us that this is deemed acceptable?

She escaped coercive control.
The family court still made her pay £105,000 to divorce him.
He plead guilty. She is still in debt from having to pay him a settlement. Perpetrators should not walk away with a payout after years of control. That is the system finishing what he started.
