What would it be like to have decisions made about your life by people you never got to meet?

In one Australian study, only 10% of children who recalled court involvement met anyone from the court. Half of those who met a family consultant said their views weren’t acknowledged.

Being heard doesn’t mean children make the decisions. It means they’re listened to and kept informed.

This is part of our series on children in family law. Follow along, and if you’d like to talk about your family’s situation, get in touch: https://cflsolutions.com.au/family-mediation/

When we say we need to “listen to the children” during a family separation, what does that actually look like in practice?

In an Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) study of 61 young people navigating parental separation, children shared what made them feel genuinely heard:

• Giving them time to process before decisions are finalised
• Undivided attention: no interruptions, no phones
• Acknowledging their thoughts rather than just hearing words
• Keeping them informed without exposing them to adult conflict

Swipe through to see what young people had to say in their own words.

When parents separate, adult conversations shape a child’s entire future, yet research shows young people often feel unheard throughout the process.

This week, we are launching a new informative series: Children in Separation.

Over the coming weeks, we will explore what the separation journey looks like through a child’s eyes; from what genuine “listening” actually means to young people, to how parents and family law professionals can ensure children’s voices are respected without burdening them with adult decisions.

When we talk about family violence, we aren’t just talking about legal files. We are talking about human lives, complex psychology, and social dynamics.

In this episode of 'The Many Faces of Family Violence', Susan Hamilton-Green is joined by Tina Stathopoulos and Angela Damianopoulos. Together, they reflect on a vital shift in professional practice: moving beyond the "legal facts" to understand the person behind the crisis.

This conversation is for any professional who wants to:
Move from simply "identifying" violence to truly supporting survivors.
Understand the psychological barriers that make it hard for families to seek help.
Bridge the gap between legal obligations and trauma-informed care.

"The goal is to create a safe space and open up a conversation."
