Download or read book The Secret Family Court Fact or Fiction written by Clifford Bellamy and published by Bath Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For approaching two decades, family courts have been accused of making life changing decisions about children and who they live with made in secret, away from the scrutiny of the public gaze. Recognising the force of these accusations, senior family courts judges have, over that time, implemented a raft of rule changes, pilot projects and judicial guidance aimed at making the family justice more accountable and transparent. But has any progress been made? Are there still suspicions that family judges make irrevocable, unaccountable decisions in private hearings? And if so, are those suspicions justified and what can be done to dispel them? In this important and timely new book, Clifford Bellamy, a recently retired family judge who has been at the sharp end of family justice during all these changes, attempts to answer those questions and more. He has spoken to leading journalists, judges and academic researchers to find out what the obstacles to open reporting are – be they legal, economic or cultural - and interweaves their insights with informed analysis on how the laws regulating family court reporting operate. Along the way he provides a comprehensive review of the raft of initiatives he has seen come and go, summarises the position now and uses this experience to suggest how this fundamental aspect of our justice system could adapt in the face of this criticism. Every professional working in the family justice system – lawyers, social workers, court staff and judges - as well as those who job it is to report on legal affairs, should read this informative, nuanced exposition of what open justice means and why it matters so much to those whose lives are upended by the family justice system.
Download or read book Representing Children in Dependency and Family Court written by Rebecca M. Stahl and published by American Bar Association. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representing Children in Dependency and Family Court: Beyond the Law is a unique family law resource that focuses on the real-world issues that are central for working with child clients in dependency and family court settings. The authors - a board-certified psychologist who has worked with children since the mid-1980s, and an attorney who almost exclusively represents children in dependency court matters - recognize that professionals who represent children in these settings must understand all aspects of the case: the children themselves, the system in which they are engaged, the services available to them, the schools they attend, their ethnic and cultural issues, their special needs, the legal issues they face outside of family and juvenile courts, and more. In addition, lawyers need to take into account the diverse issues faced by the parents with whom they live. While some children's representatives work exclusively in this area and want to delve more deeply into the issues of family dynamics examined in this book, this is also a useful resource for those who work with children's cases less frequently or are just beginning in the area and have had limited or no exposure to these issues. This clearly written and logical guide is an informed resource accessible to professionals at any level of experience. Authors Rebecca M. Stahl, JD, LLM, and Philip M. Stahl, Ph.D., bring their extensive knowledge and practical experience to discuss in depth these issues as more: - Conceptual approaches to the role of the children's representative, and well as intriguing thoughts about how this can evolve in the future- Explanations of the critical psychological issues involved, including trauma, child development, domestic violence, high-conflict separation and divorce, alienated or resistant children, and other special circumstances- Consideration of the professional responsibilities raised in these cases, including ethical issues in representing children, risks of bias in the work, and recognizing the emotional, physical, and professional toll involved

Download or read book Representing Yourself in Family Law written by Beth Adams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to walk you through most of the procedures used in courts hearing family law cases for almost any cause of action (such as custody or divorce) in any state in the United States. It shows you how to find the specific information for your state and cause of action and explains common issues. Because the book is intended for all states and each individual state has different laws, there may be differences depending on where you are. I have tried to point out common differences between states and how to ensure you know what is required in your state. This book covers such information as the structure of the court system; how to locate statutes, rules, and case law; the discovery process; various documents used in court; how to prepare for mediation and trial; common evidence issues; and much more. Also, this is a beginner's guide. There are some very in-depth issues that most cases will likely at least touch on at some point. These in-depth issues are sometimes called "weeds." This book does not go into the weeds, which tend to be issue specific, though I do provide coaching services that can walk you through those. This book also only covers procedures at the trial court level and only through the trial. Post trial and appeal issues are very in-depth and could be the subject of their own book.
