I have been watching the disaster that is the Australian Family Court for 30 years - no surprises here. Pretty upsetting stuff if you are a sexual abuse survivor from your family or are trying to protect your children - but everyone is better off knowing the truth.

In the child's best interests
In a number of Family Court cases, where claims of child sexual abuse have been made against a father, the court has switched care from the mother to the father after a recommendation by a child psychiatrist or psychologist. Jess Hill investigates the role of expert report writers in the way the court decides on claims of abuse.

I would love to hear people's experiences if people are in a position to talk about it.
I support Rose Batty's premise that we need a Royal Commission into the Australian Family Court.
On Thursday 11 June, in a telephone link with senators for an inquiry into family violence, Australian of the Year Rosie Batty called for a Royal Commission into the Family Court, telling senators the institution is her ‘biggest area of concern’, and that it’s an area that is ‘beyond investigation, beyond reproach’.
‘There is a total disregard or a total ignorance of family violence being an issue,’ she said. ‘You’re viewed in court as likely to be lying to manipulate the system.’
Cheers,
