Make it the law for children's feelings and wishes to be heard in family court

Closed 253 signatures

What the petition asks

I want it to be the law that children can voice what they want to happen in family court, in person, by a voice recorded clip to be played or a letter to be read by the judge. Too many children are not being heard, it time to give them a voice.
