Resolution’s Vision for Family Justice
Resolution’s Annual Awareness Week is taking place from 27 November to 1 December 2023.
As part of the Awareness Week, Resolution launched their Vision for Family Justice at a parliamentary event. It sets out the changes which Resolution say need to be made to address the current issues facing the family justice system. The recommendations as set out in the Vision for Family Justice are based on the views and experiences of over a thousand Resolution members.
A significant cornerstone of the Vision for Family Justice is recognising the importance of reform in relation to cohabitation. Resolution is campaigning for cohabiting couples to have at least basic rights on the breakdown of the relationship and also on the death of a cohabiting partner. Another main priority identified in the Vision for Family Justice is increased public funding for early legal information and advice. Other areas of reform recognised in the Vision for Family Justice include better support and protection for victims of domestic abuse in the family courts, changes to proceedings for child arrangements and changes to proceedings for financial remedies on divorce.
The recommendations within the Vision for Family Justice will be at the heart of Resolution’s campaigning activities and lobbying work over the coming months and years with the aim to improve the lives of families and children in England and Wales.
