Does a justice system have a welfare function? If so, where does
the boundary lie between justice and welfare, and where can the
necessary resources and expertise be found? In a time of austerity,
medical emergency, and limited public funding, this book explores
the role of the family justice system and asks whether it has a
function beyond decision-making in dispute resolution. Might a
family justice system even help to prevent or minimise conflict as
well as resolving dispute when it arises? The book is divided into
4 parts, with contributions from 22 legal scholars working across
Europe, Australia, Argentina and Canada. - Part 1 looks at what
constitutes a family justice system in different jurisdictions, and
how a welfare element is included in the legal framework. - Part 2
looks at those engaged with a family justice system as
professionals and users, and explores how far private ordering is
encouraged in different countries. - Part 3 looks at new ways of
working within a family justice system and raises the question of
whether the move towards privatisation derives from the intrinsic
value of individual autonomy and acceptance of responsibility in
family disputes, or whether it is also a response to the increasing
burden on the state of providing a welfare-minded family justice
system. - Part 4 explores recent major changes of direction for the
family justice systems of Australia, Argentina, Turkey, Spain, and
Germany.
