Four months imprisonment for recording audio from a care proceedings hearing and then publishing it on the Internet. His Majesty's Solicitor General v Jason-Steven: Wong [2023] EWHC 2966 (Fam) (21 November 2023) #contemptofcourt #paralegaladvocate bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

The Christmas spirit was definitely with us in the court today when a mum very kindly offered to supervise dad and the children on Christmas Day (mum’s suggestion). The family will all go to Christmas lunch together and the dad will get to cuddle his children for the first time

The lack of QLR (qualified legal representative) availability continues to be an issue for the court. A McKenzie Friend was (rarely) used to conduct the cross examination (and did an excellent job for his client). But men (and fathers) must take note of the sexual findings in

Another alleged-PA case (PA and obstructive behaviours not found) where Mel Gill was the expert. M tried to have MG removed but withdrew that following the re: C judgement. Findings made against F including coercive control and financial. Children reluctant but supervised contact

😂 Happy Christmas Norman ❤️🎄

Merry Christmas and festive greetings from our family to you and yours. 🎄☃️

My Experience is Real: Alienated Children in Recovery Tell Their Stories karenwoodall.blog/2024/01/26/my-…

Depending upon your point of view, arguably a depressing read, much like HH Judge Wildblood KC’s was in re: A. #parentalalienation T, Re (A Child)(S9(6) Children Act 1989 Orders: Exceptional Circumstances: Parental Alienation) [2024] EWHC 59 (Fam) bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

Griffiths v Kniveton & Anor [2024] EWHC 199 (Fam) (02 February 2024): F's application for direct contact, in case where he had been found to have raped M. No direct contact ordered and 3 year barring order made. bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

AB (a child) (Habeas Corpus), Re Application for writ of habeas corpus dismissed. Misconceived. AB is a child and a person. caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewca/civ/2024/…

Interesting judgement. Contrary to the changing narrative, it is still possible to have direct contact, and keep your PR, following findings of coercive and controlling behaviour which can be progressed following a DAPP.

State of Georgia vs Trump & Ors. It’s just incredible, a DA and Special Prosecutor potentially lied to the court. It’s like something out of Shonda Rhimes’ *How To Get Away With Murder*. Is Fani Willis trying to be a real-life Annalise Keating?! Unbelievable.

Magistrates continue being involved in CHILD arrangements cases — What’s everyone’s thoughts? A good thing/a bad thing 🤷‍♂️ Anybody had a good outcome? Do they get decisions right or wrong?

Warning: Some viewers may find the following video distressing. Desperate to keep his family together, Richard Spencer tried everything before reluctantly starting to keep evidence of his abusive wife’s behaviour. 📺 #MyWifeMyAbuser: The Secret Footage

A brave woman. #getwellsoon #PrincessofWales

K v W (Fact-Finding Hearing: Permission to Appeal and Adducing New Evidence) [2023] EWFC 292 (B) (25 October 2023): Application by mother for permission to appeal against findings of fact in child arrangements proceedings. Permission refused. bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/…

A good reminder of the need for Pretrial review PTR hearings and Ground Rules GRH hearings. #participation #domesticabuse

Introducing permission to appeal family magistrates is not a step in the right direction.
