Family courts

This week the government has announced a major overhaul of family courts, helping to keep domestic abuse victims and their children safe as they go through this difficult process.

  • Every day family courts see some of the most vulnerable in society, and we have a duty to ensure they are protected and not put in danger during this process.
     
  • That is why the government is reforming the way family courts handle domestic abuse cases – including giving victims special protections in court, and empowering judges to prevent abusive ex-partners from repeatedly dragging their victims back to court.
     
  • Alongside the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill, these changes will transform society’s response to this destructive crime – protecting victims and pursuing perpetrators more than ever before.
