dc.description.notesOverview: This PowerPoint? presentation provides a discursive analysis of Australian family law and its construct of an idealised family after the separation of partners due to domestic violence.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: Shea Hart conducted an in-depth discourse analysis of twenty First Instance unpublished judgments, delivered over a five and a half-year period from one registry of the Family Court of Australia, in contested contact cases where the presence of domestic violence was acknowledged by the Court. She found that the family scenario where parenting is shared is constructed as functional and ideal, even in circumstances when it is not.<br/ ><br/ >Dominant themes emerged from the judgements, demonstrating the conservative values that emphasised the role of fathers in parenting as being in the ‘best interests of the child’. Specifically the research found:<br/ ><br/ >* ongoing domestic violence is minimised, often through labelling it as ‘conflict’<br/ > * children’s need for a father is constructed as very important and at times, essential<br/ > * fathers’ violence towards children is minimised, often fathers are constructed as ‘irrational’ <br/ > * mothers were constructed as alienating children from their father.en
