This book presents papers from an International Symposium on
Contact Disputes and Allegations of Domestic Violence: Identifying
Best Practices, held in London in May 2017. The editors invited a
group of international experts to explain the approaches taken in
their jurisdictions to allegations of domestic violence in child
contact cases, with a view to identifying international best
practices in such cases. The book includes contributions from
England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Sweden and Spain, as
well as information presented at the symposium from New Zealand and
Australia. The chapters include attention to particular issues such
as specialist domestic violence courts, judicial training and
hearing children’s voices. Collectively, the chapters identify a
set of common problems experienced across all of the jurisdictions,
including an overwhelming emphasis on the value of children’s
ongoing contact with non-resident parents and the consequent
minimisation of domestic violence and the muting of the voices of
children who do not wish to have contact with abusive parents. Best
practices in taking domestic violence seriously and providing
adequate protection from further abuse for children and non-abusive
parents were less in evidence. However, the concluding chapter
draws together details of several initiatives and approaches which
offer promising ways forward. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social
Welfare and Family Law.
