Childrens wishes to be voiced in family court
Rejected

What the petition asks
I feel strongly that childrens voices arent being heard when it comes to family court.
I would like to see children able to voice what they want to happen in courts and that to be taken into consideration. Too many lives are being impacted by wrong decisions made. Its time for children to be heard

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure how you want children's voices to be heard or how you want their views to be taken into consideration.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
