LEGAL UPDATE: Governor Hochul signs law providing clarity in court for survivors of sexual abuse seeking justice under the NY Adult Survivors Act. The new law eliminates an unintended and unexpected procedural hurdle which municipalities argued (with various degrees of success) had invalidated victims’ rights to bring claims under the ASA. This is a significant step towards supporting survivors and ensuring accountability. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/eE3tuDU6 #Survivors #Justice #AdultSurvivorsAct #SupportSurvivors

Anthony Albanese this is an important podcast that anyone wanting to understand perpetrators of domestic abuse must listen to. Family law reforms must include the removal of all domestic, family and sexual violence cases from the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. This avenue is 80% of the time used as a weapon by perpetrators. Large numbers of children are currently court ordered to live in the sole custody of their abuser. Like the murder of women this fact is being continually ignored by the politicians who make the laws. The family law industry has monetised family violence and child abuse. We need specialist state based domestic violence courts or preferably tribunals made up of Domestic, Family and sexual violence and child safety practitioners. We need to take the money out of protecting ourselves from perpetrators. It is our human right to live free from abuse. Family court IS continued domestic violence. Police are the wrong people to be diagnosing DFSV. Police can only be utilised to protect victims, not decide who is a victim or a perpetrator or what action should be taken which is what police currently are getting so very wrong and why so many women and children are being murdered by violent men. The FCFCOA pathway to continued child abuse and post separation abuse must be removed from the perpetrators arsenal and all “professionals” who have enabled this torture must be held accountable. Removing licenses, large fines that go to supporting victims of DFSV can be implemented to curb the huge number of lawyers, family report writers, reunification and famimy therapists profiting from abuse. Grant Wyeth thank you for your work to educate the general public on the discriminatory practices in the family court.
