Podcasts about family justice

This month we are joined by the Law Commissioner, Professor Nicholas Hopkins (who led the scoping report), Emma Hitchings, Professor of Family Law at the University of Bristol (who led the Fair Shares reports), and Resolution's Family Law Reform Group chair, Jo Edwards of Forsters LLP. The Law Commission has found (in its scoping report published in December) that the current law does not provide a cohesive framework in which couples going through a divorce or dissolution of a civil partnership can expect fair and sufficiently certain outcome. In particular they found that the law lacks certainty and accessibility to the extent that it could be argued to be inconsistent with the rule of law.  They concluded that the law needs reform. We discuss:The Law Commission Scoping report: https://lawcom.gov.uk/publication/financial-remedies-scoping-report-and-summary/The Fair Shares Project: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/law/fair-shares-project/And of course Resolution's own Vision for Family Justice: https://resolution.org.uk/campaigning-for-change/vision/  and our Domestic Abuse in Financial Remedy work https://resolution.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Resolution_DAFRP_Report_ONLINE.pdf Emma and Jo joined us when the first Fair Shares reports were published in 2023.  Do listen to our previous episode in Season 3 episode 6: which explains the detail and data in those reports. We talk about spousal maintenance, and that whilst a lot of discussion has been devoted to the term of spousal maintenance, in fact it is the quantum that causes most uncertainty.  Emma tells us there are twice as many spousal maintenance orders made in London than all the other regions combined.  There seems to be a legitimate explanation for the ‘London difference' in the higher costs of living in London. The Law Commission found that conduct is an additional source of unfairness that victim-survivors face in how financial remedies are determined.  Emma tells us that the Fair Shares research found that domestic abuse survivors were less likely to reach agreement than divorcees where there has not been abuse,  very few domestic abuse survivors successfully used mediation, and that 14% will ultimately have their claims determined by a judge, compared to only 4% of financial remedy cases that do not involve domestic abuse.  The Fair Shares research found that female domestic abuse survivors are in a poorer financial position than other female divorcees.  Jo told us about the incoming Australian legislation that will see family violence taken into account when determining parties' contributions to the marriage as well as the Resolution position on the Law Commission report/financial remedies reform The Law Commission found that there is still real concern that pensions are not sufficiently taken into account.  The reality is that position has not changed that wives often keep a greater share of the home to accommodate the children, and the husband tends to retain his pension.  Should there be a default of equal pension sharing? Finally we discuss the four models of potential reform.  If you are still making your mind up about which model should be the foundation of any reform then this episode is invaluable!

In this episode, we are joined by Professor Jens Scherpe (Professor of Comparative Law at Aalborg University, and academic door tenant at QEB), and our very own Resolution Cohabitation Committee Chair, Graeme Fraser (Head of Family at William Sturges) to discuss what model of cohabitation law reform should be introduced in England & Wales.   This is a seminal moment for Resolution.  It has been campaigning to achieve family law remedies for cohabitees almost since its inception in 1983, with it being high on its list of priorities since the mid-1990s. The new government has confirmed they are committed to cohabitation reform, so what shape should that take?  What Resolution members know is that the general law is not good enough for families.  If you need convincing, Jens guides us to think - do you think cohabiting families are families? If yes, then you need family law remedies (rather than remedies for people with no connection because purpose of family law (unlike general law) is to address societal, financial and gender imbalances that arise from being a family.    Which model would you support? Do you think, we should: Assimilate the law for cohabitees – so use the same framework that we do for married couples; OR have aDifference model - so there is a clear difference between the remedy for a  cohabiting couple, or a married couple. With all family law remedies, you then need to decide are you: a.      Compensating a partner for the loss they have experienced generated by the relationship; OR b.      Sharing the fruits of the relationship both parties have participated in.  Graeme and Jens explore the law for cohabitees in Scotland, Ireland and Australia to consider the pros and cons of each model.  We then put them on the spot to what they think we should do in England & Wales.  In the conversation, Graeme refers us to the Law Commission report from 2007: https://cloud-platform-e218f50a4812967ba1215eaecede923f.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/sites/30/2015/03/lc307_Cohabitation.pdfAnd the Vision for Family Justice: https://resolution.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Resolution-Vision-for-Family-Justice-full-221123.pdf If you would like to read more about this, then please do look at Jen's books about comparative law: Jens M.

When you look at national statistics, it's scary to see how prevalent domestic violence is in America. Up to date data shows 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner abuse in some regard, according to The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. But does that really reflect how big the problem is here in Connecticut? We asked Deb Greenwood, CEO and President of the Center for Family Justice.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this week host Susan Guthrie speaks with Attorney Uswah Khan who has helped scores of victims of abuse obtain restraining orders in order protect themselves, and their children, from suffering further at the hands of their abusers. On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. Restraining orders offer one of the few tools that a victim has to try to protect themselves from ongoing abuse but getting a restraining order can be scary, confusing and complicated.  To make matters worse, many victims cannot afford to retain an attorney to help them navigate the court process making it even more difficult to apply for relief.  Attorney Uswah Khan has spent the past few years representing and assisting victims of domestic violence as the staff attorney at The Center for Family Justice in Connecticut.  In this episode, Uswah demystifies the process of obtaining a restraining order and walks you through the steps so that you are empowered to get the protection that you, and your children, need.  This episode truly will save lives!

“As a nonviolent offender, my brother faced the ultimate consequences of what cannabis prohibition really does to families.”On June 15th, 2013 Jawara McIntosh, musician, cannabis activist, and son of reggae genius Peter Tosh, was pulled over on the New Jersey Turnpike, not because he was speeding but more likely because of his dreadlocks. The cops found sixty five pounds of marijuana in his car and locked him away in a county jail for six months. After being released on $200,000 bond, Jawara, who performed under the name Tosh 1, pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute and took a plea deal which landed him in Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, NJ, with a one-year sentence. On February 21st, 2017, just six months shy of his release date, Jawara, then 37, was attacked by another inmate. He sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that left him in a coma, unable to speak, move or care for himself for three agonizing years until his death, July 17, 2020. Like his dad and the rest of his family, Jawara was a Rastafarian who used cannabis as a religious sacrament.In honor of International Peter Tosh Day, which occurs on 420, Jawara’s sister, (and Tosh’s youngest daughter), Niambe McIntosh, joins us to tell the story of her brother’s death and how it spurred her into action on his behalf.What Niambe, who today heads the Peter Tosh Foundation and is a cannabis entrepreneur, failed to tell me in this interview was that her brother’s story bears an eerie resemblance to an incident that happened to her father. Back in 1978, a gang of 8 policemen saw Peter Tosh standing outside of a recording studio in Kingston, Jamaica with a joint in his hand. They beat him with Billy clubs, then locked him in jail. According to reports, his skull was shattered in several places, his ribs were broken, and his hands had been crushed. When Bob Marley visited his former Wailers’ bandmate in the hospital and saw the battered body, he wept. We’re bringing you this podcast in celebration of 420, 2021, as a reminder that despite the progress that the march toward legalization has sustained in the last years, the fight for justice and criminal justice reform is still far from over. Please have a Happy High Holiday but take a moment to remember all of those who came before who contributed to making this High Holiday possible.

Do the courts respect diversity or punish it when it comes to parenthood? What disabilities does it encounter? How can the learning disabled parent ensure their voice is heard in court? What to do when the wish to parent might not be matched by an ability to parent?
