Change the way family court is conducted

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

For years family court has been unjust,
People have been allowed to bring court cases forward based on accusations With no merit or proof within family court lies are able to be told with no truth finding fact and no ramifications when someone has been found to have committed perjury..
I want the government to look into how the family court is run, it’s processes the endless stories of thousands of people who have suffered miscarriages of justice, the thousands who have been vilified and treated unfairly. I want the government to make the much needed and long over due changes and fix the family courts failings.
