IS OUR FAMILY LAW SYSTEM REALLY WORKING IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN? YOU BE THE JUDGE.Mum's the Word brings together five mothers-a chemist, a product designer, a hairdresser, a fitness expert, and a child psychologist-to share heartbreaking stories of their fight to maintain a relationship with their own children, and one truly brave teenage boy who provides a child's perspective of parental alienation.Each story typifies the issues families endure while navigating separation and our family law system, including family violence, parental alienation, mental illness, court proceedings, and the dysfunctional communication between state and federal jurisdictions. Additional specialist legal commentary provides greater understanding of processes and terminology. This book offers alternative solutions and guidance to mentally and legally navigate the family law system, and encourages the reader to connect with other people in similar situations. It also provides links to nationwide resources for both legal and mental health needs. This book has been designed to give separating parents the tools they need to make healthy decisions for themselves and for the future of their children.Specialist Commentary by Accredited Family Law Specialist (LIV) Monica Blizzard and Trauma Specialist Naomi Halpern.
