Family Court of Western Australia

Should be named as "Womens court of Australia"

The very croupt self infltated proud system which took many parents lives unfortunately not with guns but using Children's as baits.

The whole system gangs up against one parent who generally withholds the child they do empower alienators by giving benifts and various support aid, which is not less than rewards.it only encourages more alienation and abuse towards the child. More an more parents are portraying themselves as DV victim just for the sake of benifts. Human nature is full of greed, and this place truly proves it. They shut people down by imposing section 121, so nobody talks. We all need to take this matter very seriously so our children can have a better life rather than fall into this trap when they grow up and accept child alienation as normal part of life.

Offen one parent or both parent are called Narcissistic the reality is the whole system feeds and prouds itself in behaviour which 100% lines up with Narcissistic traits.

These usless courts need to be dismantled completely. It only encourages homlessness and more n more benefits at the cost of one parent and poor children who get manipulated for greed.

The Family Circus is just like every other government bureaucracy; slow and inefficient.
Unfortunately lawyers love conflict because they profit from it and so they will try and create conflict and bitterness.
Equally unfortunate is the fact that the Family Circus also profits from it, so they do their best to create a quagmire where resolution takes an unnecessary number of years. They literally try and drag out things as long as possible and give no thought to the children who are part of this conflict.
A total lack of oversight by John Quigley and the State Labor government allows the Family Circus to create both chaos and inter-generational damage.

August 24th I was invited to the family court. To listen to the court. I don't have a lawyer to assist me.instead I was given a free attorney by the Family Court. Her name is Helen. I am really grateful and fortunate to have met her.she supported and helped me with all her heart. I really want to express my deep gratitude to Lawyer Helen very very much.with all that she did for me

We dont have to be shy n scared of this corrupt system. Please all of you talk openly n keep raising your voice talk to local media, newspaper share your stories keep urself anonymous. The things will change.

I am a person with a profound hearing impairment living (80-90db range) in a rural location (over 3 hours travel required), have a job and can have care for up to 3 children including one with autism.

The family court has outdated assistive technology that is not compatible with my hearing aids (as per identified by their IT department) and they have no alternatives for me to attend other than in person.

The last 2 hearing scheduled, I was provided less than 2 business days to attend in person from a rural location.

I was not able to attend due to the short notice and no other assistance for my disability available.

I marked 2 stars because the staff there are always friendly and help to the best of their ability, it is unfortunate that it is the system that is distroying my children's lives and causing disability discrimination.

Discusting, Dangerous, Corrupt. I hope there is a Royal commission sooner rather than later and I hope that they are held accountable for the countless lives that have been destroyed and the people who have been killed by this horrible mess. Words cannot explain how toxic and wrong this place is. Australia needs to band together and put a stop to this travesty!

Family court needs a complete overhaul. Children abused, ICL accused me of questioning my children when they returned crying horrible things happened in their mothers care including cigarette burns and severe bruising, There is no need for an independent children's lawyer when there is an active protective parent either!

It took this court over 11 months to have a single expert witness report written. I tried twice to have the witness dismissed but the magistrate permitted the delays. When the report came it was full of errors, but I was forced to accept it under duress because the ICL started yelling. I'm not a lawyer, but they bully and berate to get their ways. Using embarrassment and threats, similar to the ways their clients get domestic violence funding. The single expert witness lost their license to practice and both the judge and the children's lawyer don't care, but this harmed my case. They are using the report and I can't goto trial and question the witness. I give up. They are making mockery of the process and their is no recourse. The lawyers seem proud.

11 months for a report from a psychologist who lost their license, but because they had a license at the time, it's ok. No it's not and I think this magistrate is due for retirement.

Independent childrens lawyer work for the state defending the neglect and abuse and failures of duty of care by the state in front an indifferent biased judge who hasn't made an independent decision in years. It's not in the child's best interest to have someone represent them and disappear when funding has stopped.

The judges are not independent adjudicators. They are mandated by legal aid how to decide. There are very few that would upset the status quo.

May the oncoming onslaught of family court professionals show no mercy.

Absolutely disgusting system! Letting women get away with breaching family court orders and wrecking men and children's lives.

No wonder men take matters into there own hands when the legal system is such a joke.

Omg the lady who’s served me was super friendly and helpful. Sorted out my paper so fast thankyou again:)

My sister has spent 13 years and $ 380,000 in litigation fees before this court. Its largely a lawyers country club and needs to be closed down. Judges do not comprehend the basics of finance, and see children as bargaining pawns. Its time to get lawyers out of divorce

Whilst the Family Court is just like every other government bureaucracy, slow and inefficient, the people who work there do try to do their best. The phone operators, counter staff, Registrars, Magistrate's and Judges are helpful and try and get things sorted; preferably without the use of the Family Court.
Unfortunately the lawyers love conflict because they profit from it and so they will try and create conflict and bitterness.

On the news today was said women in defacto relationships will now be able to get a fair split share of super well I'm not defacto I'm married 42 years and been told the one point three million super my husband got when he retired cannot be split back to court again on the 10 of June been going to mediation have not got anywhere with this in fact I'm worse off now than I was three years ago because the mediator made an order my husband was to continue paying bills untill he does a settlement with me but he refused to pay bills so I struggle to pay them from my pension and there's still no settlement while he lives the high life and keeps spending I struggle

Disqusting.only should be for indigenous communities.if thats how you want to be treated private and puplic shouldnt mix.very pervy solisitors.

Independent expert witness lies and fills his report full of mistakes with incorrect referencing and false information, is biased and a scoundrel to say the least. Independent children's lawyer not much better. Seems you can write what you like in an affidavit with no evidence or any proof infact the exact opposite and the court will accept it, write an affidavit with the truth that can be proven and it's not accepted. False form 4s can be lodged and accepted but one based on truth and the actual going ons with evidence to support it will get rejected. Child's welfare put at risk over and over again and the court favours the biased DCP and the parent with the open case against them over the parent without one. Flawed system, second time going through the BS. Would have thought they learnt something the first time from the BS spawned from the manipulative party trying to control the situation and not lose custody rather than provide what was best for the child's welfare.

Please help me, my entire family got absolutely memed and now I am the only one remaining. Its like an apocalypse, they just take your family away for going INTO the court. Please help me, I was just using a free Robux generator.

ICL's do not act as independent for children, I believe they have conflicts of interest and some are a extreme left wing feminist, if you get an incompetent ICL id suggest contact legal aid request another, its a disgrace to the court IMO that an ICL can attack a father for basically nothing yet defend a mother with very serious and extreme problems.its unbelievable to watch

Extremely happy with the JP's assistance.
But with only 1 court staff visible due to pandemic, people have to navigate their way through to find out everything and put all the documents including their credit card details to a Drop Box. Which seems very inappropriate for someone who does DIY, as adviced by the courts website itself.

This is the most depressing place & the time it takes to get a decision is mind blowing 4.5 years so far & a simple case.lawyers love this place as its gold mine for them. The court actual time in court is also a joke as they spend max of 4 hours 45 minutes hours a day actual court time at trial.
This place needs to be more efficient and needs a total overhaul

Judge Glass was fair and reasonable. Although the entire process took two years and we were sent to mediation three times because there was no reason to be in a courtroom besides the fact no one could agree. Finally, we had register Corrick who managed a 10hr mediation with professionalism and honesty. She set everyone's reality straight and had the kids best interest as her priority. I truly believe if we had of mediated with her originally it would never have been such a long process. We will be back in 18months to reassess but for now, the kids get quality time with both Mum and Dad as they deserve.
