Why aren't family court judges receiving mandatory, comprehensive training on domestic abuse, coercive control, and trauma? This lack of understanding leads to dangerous decisions that put lives at risk. It's time for urgent reform. #FamilyCourt

Resolute: Zero Tolerance For Domestic Abuse
@ResoluteSupport
We support women to find their strength, determination and dignity after domestic abuse, domestic violence and coercive control.
- Post-separation abuse is an epidemic that's destroying lives, yet it remains largely invisible to the legal system. From financial abuse to using children as pawns, abusers are finding new ways to torment their victims. Courts must recognize and address this. #StopDomesticAbuse
- What really baffles me is, all organisations are telling women if they are experiencing domestic abuse, to report it! What happens to them after that is a living nightmare for them! Most of them are faced with homelessness! No finances,and no faith in the law @ukhomeoffice
- Children are being forced to maintain relationships with abusive parents, often against their will. This is not in their best interests - it's a violation of their rights and a form of institutional abuse. Family courts must start listening to children. #ChildrenFirst
- Children are being traumatized by forced contact with abusive parents. The mantra of "children need both parents" is being used to justify exposing kids to abuse. It's time to prioritize children's safety and wellbeing over an abuser's "rights". #DomesticAbuseAwareness
- Post-separation abuse is destroying lives, yet it's often invisible to the courts. From using joint assets as leverage to manipulating children, abusers are finding new ways to exert control. The legal system must evolve to recognize and address these tactics. #EndDomesticAbuse

- Coercive control doesn't end when the relationship does, yet family courts seem oblivious to this fact. Post-separation abuse is real, dangerous, and often escalates. Why aren't courts protecting victims from this ongoing threat? #CoerciveControl

- Victims of domestic abuse are being re-traumatized by a family court system that fails to understand the dynamics of abuse. From dismissive judges to invasive questioning, the process itself becomes a form of secondary abuse. This has to stop. #DomesticAbuse
- Victims of coercive control are being failed by family courts that don't understand this form of abuse. Coercive control is insidious, devastating, and often escalates after separation. Courts must be educated on this issue to protect victims. #FamilyCourt
- Why aren't family court judges receiving mandatory training on trauma-informed practices? The current system re-traumatizes victims and fails to recognize the impact of abuse. We need judges who understand the complexities of domestic abuse. #FamilyCourtScandal
- The family courts are enabling abusers to continue their abuse through the legal system. From vexatious applications to using children as pawns, the courts have become a new battleground for abusers. This perversion of justice must end. #StopDomesticAbuse
