Q1: What can be done to help the triaging of the needs of separating families as soon as possible after separation? #familylawhour

Poll: Should attendance at a parenting programme that seeks to help parents improve their parental relationship & help secure the best outcomes for children be a statutory requirement (subject to certain exemptions like for MIAMs) before proceedings can be issued? #familylawhour

FamilyLawHour Help fam lawyers to set right tone in 1st meeting ie it will be a collaborative relationship, you’re a guide, not a director of client’s life & you’re not a magician! Also point out that (unless they’re on a safety pathway) all you do will be geared towards cooperative parenting

Q3: What changes in language would you like to see to shift separating parents away from an adversarial approach? #familylawhour

Poll: Should parents be able to register (like you can parental responsibility agreements) their parenting agreement to give it an official validity to help the perception of their obligation to adhere to what is agreed?#familylawhour
