| dc.description.notes | The author, the Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia at the time of writing, discusses the legislation, policies and initiatives involved in the Court’s response to family violence and the protection of children. He stresses the importance of a more active involvement of psychiatrists and psychologists in court proceedings, and questions the efficacy of certain strategies. The Family Reform Act 1995 modified the terminology, emphasised a child’s right to contact and recognised family violence as a relevant feature in parenting orders. However, the right to contact has been misused by abusive parents. Reductions in the legal aid budget has increased the number of litigants in person, negatively affecting the Court and the families. Conversely, the delegation of interim applications concerning children to a new category of Senior Registrars has reduced waiting times and judges’ workload. The Family Court is also implementing supporting programmes; Parenting After Separation Seminars and the Magellan pilot project are mentioned. | en |
