This week in court: a mother accused of parental alienation by a man who had no real interest in parenting, only staying in the country. His “contact” application? A tool to secure immigration status. This wasn’t about a child. It was lawfare. #FamilyCourt #LitigationAbuse

One of the most astounding things about all of this is how badly wrong specialist lawyers and regulators got this. Never forget that the Scottish government, EHRC and a prominent human-rights charity all GOT THE LAW ENTIRELY WRONG, while a tiny group of unpaid women in Scotland,

Please read this from USA TODAY on the recent murder of three more children in WA by a dangerous father, preventably killed during his custody time. My amazing colleague & Director of National Family Violence Law Center Prof Meier is interviewed Joan Meier

Child abuse has effectively been de-criminalized in the UK, if men say they are ‘stressed’ Hard not to see judicial collusion

To be clear, from the post separation abuse victim survivors I support tirelessly and advocate for, in real time, the family court system is nothing short of emotional torture for them. Good mothers are forcibly being separated from their babies and children for no justifiable

With 98% of rapists walking free already, what do you think the result is?

This is what I see every day as a family lawyer. He never hit her. But he tracked her phone. Cut off her money. Isolated her from friends. Controlled her contraception. And took her to court again and again. That’s abuse. #DomesticAbuse #PostSeparationAbuse #ReproductiveCoercion

1/ I represented the mother in this harrowing case where the court made orders revoking the father’s parental responsibility, refusing his application for contact or a live with order, and imposing a full minority s91(14) & Non-Molestation Order. 🧵

Do you really need special, expert training to know that closing down a rape case without even talking to the accused is bad police work? Surely this is both common sense and basic police training. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

.Bar Standards Board chair Kathryn Stone said she was “so sorry that the BSB added to the trauma of the already distressing situation that the witnesses found themselves in”. Too little, too late. The BSB have caused harm to survivors who bravely spoke out. legalfutures.co.uk/latest-news/ha…

Last session Washington state lawmakers missed the opportunity to enact child safety measures of #KaydensLaw before tragedy struck their community. May they do it before another awful loss happens. High risk parents like Travis Decker should not have unsupervised parenting time.

If you're asking: "Why didn't they leave?" Ask instead: "What made staying feel safer than leaving?" Domestic abuse is about power and control. And leaving is often the most dangerous time.

Domestic abuse isn't always visible. It's not just bruises. It's control, isolation, financial restriction, and threats. It's being made to feel worthless, afraid, and trapped.

"Why doesn't she just leave?" Because he has threatened to kill her. Because she has little access to money. Because she is scared he will try to take the kids in court. Because he has made her believe no one will help. This question blames the victim, not the abuser.

Family courts rely heavily on experts—but what happens when they’re unregulated or misrepresent their qualifications and have influenced life changing decisions? One mother is fighting back ⬇️ thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025-0…

I'm gutted the Assisted Dying Bill has passed by a small minority. This will be devastating for domestic abuse victims, disabled people and beyond.
