      > It would impose new requirements on lawyers to screen for signs of family violence during divorce cases, give judges new tools to identify the existence and impact of coercive control on children, and ensure that, in some circumstances, children can express their preferences to a judge in a custody dispute.

      I’d like to see a lawyer appointed on behalf of children in relation to custody disputes so their interests, perhaps determined in conjunction with a social worker, and their stated preferences are given heed.

      The bill is deceptively named and promoted, it mostly isn’t about „child safety“. For example, for child relocation:
      „In deciding whether to authorize a relocation of the child, the court shall presume that the person who intends to relocate the child will relocate regardless of whether the child’s relocation is prohibited.“

      According to studies, 85% of such relocations do not involve abusive exes, but are instead about moving because a new partner wants to, or for a higher paying job, etc.

      Now think about it: they are proposing to compel judges to pretend the parent looking to relocate would do so with or without the child. The intent there is to force the judge to decide, in an artificial scenario with constrained thinking, which of two parents sharing parenting, should become the only involved parent.

      This is firstly, dishonest: „with this one neat trick become the exclusive parent“. And secondly, it makes no sense: a parent who would abandon their child is automatically the unfit parent.

      Unless child protection services are involved, both parents should always be considered to have the necessary parental capacity to care for and meet the needs of their children. It is not for a High Court judge to determine whether a child is in a compromised situation.

      Otherwise, we end up with parents throwing tomatoes at each other over trivial matters that have a negligible impact compared to the damage that a deteriorating parental relationship can cause to the children.
