US: A Push for Family Court Reform

US: A Push for Family Court Reform
Pacific Standard – September 21, 2016
Anti-domestic violence advocates planned to cite the Castillo case and others like it at a Congressional briefing in Washington last Tuesday in an attempt to gain support for family court reform. The advocates say that children are too often endangered by family courts and the supposed experts those courts rely on. Psychologists used by the courts to help make decisions “in the best interest” of children, the advocates argue, often lack expertise in child abuse and domestic violence.
