Finally a parliamentary inquiry into the family law system targeting violence

23/4/2017

Finally a parliamentary inquiry into a better family law system to support and protect those impacted by domestic violence including children. 

If you know someone who has been impacted by the family court following domestic violence, share this email and help them to find their voice to make a public statement or complete the questionnaire for a better family court system. 

Together we can create a better, more efficient system that protects vulnerable people. Kyhesha-Lee’s case was a criminal case, however we must take action at every level of law to protect children therefore the family law system extremely relevant. 

Stand together to demand a system that protects children, rather than treats child abuse with suspicion and disregard. Perhaps if Kyhesha-Lee’s mother felt there was a better system to support Kyhesha-Lee she would have taken action, perhaps other family members would have stepped in, sadly we will never know. What we do know is that safety starts with getting the judicial system right by taking domestic violence seriously.
