Family Law Reform: A Victory for Child Safety and Survivors of Domestic Abuse

A groundbreaking shift in family law has been announced, prioritizing child welfare over parental contact. This change, long-awaited by campaigners and experts, aims to protect children from abusive parents. The presumption of parental involvement, previously a barrier for victims, has been repealed, ensuring that courts consider each case individually. Dr. Charlotte Proudman, a family law barrister, calls it a victory for children's rights. The decision follows years of advocacy, including Claire Throssell's decade-long fight after her sons were killed by their abusive father despite evidence of threats. Experts emphasize the need for judge training to facilitate this cultural shift. Professor Shazia Choudhry describes it as a positive step, putting safety and the child's voice first. This reform is a significant step towards ensuring the family justice system prioritizes the protection of survivors and children.
