The Shocking Truth About the Family Law System
What happens when family law disputes turn into drawn-out courtroom battles? In this episode, we uncover the hidden casualties of Australia’s Family Court system—the children.
💔 While parents and lawyers focus on winning, children are often left feeling powerless, anxious, and caught in a storm that was never theirs to begin with. Research from the Whitlam Institute and experts across the field reveal just how damaging prolonged litigation can be—not just financially, but emotionally.
✨ But there’s hope. We’ll explore how mediation offers a better path forward: faster, less expensive, and centred on children’s wellbeing. Instead of fuelling conflict, mediation empowers parents to collaborate and create solutions that truly work for their families.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why prolonged litigation amplifies children’s trauma
- The financial and emotional costs of adversarial court battles
- How mediation keeps families in control and protects kids
- When mediation works—and when it doesn’t
⚠️ If you’re facing family violence or safety concerns, please reach out to 1800 RESPECT or the NSW Domestic Violence Line. Safety comes first.
