Giving children a voice in family disputes

December 10, 2021 • Brodies LLP • Season 4 • Episode 4

In this special bonus episode we're joined by Brodies lawyer Fiona Sharp, a senior associate who specialises in child residence and contact dispute, and child psychologist Dr Anne Woodhouse, to discuss family disputes that involve children and how greater efforts are being made to give those children a voice in the decisions that affect them.

We talk about changes to the law in Scotland to ensure children's views are being heard, how those views are collected and the choices that parents can make during the separation process to protect the wellbeing of their child.
