Presented by Professor Harriet MacMillan and Suzette Narbonne
9:00 - 11:30 am (2.5 CPD, Family Law ADR Family Violence & ADR Maintenance Credits)
About the Course:
Family violence is a legislated factor when considering parenting arrangements, but without in-depth knowledge of the impacts of family violence on children, lawyers and other legal professionals risk misreading the situation and compromising the safety of children and parents. This inter-disciplinary session will focus on psychological and legal issues that affect children. It will examine the short and long-term impacts on children of various forms of abuse, the relationship between family violence and parenting (by survivors and by perpetrators), and the diverse (and sometimes counter-intuitive) ways in which children may present. This session will also discuss how to introduce the evidence of children, addressing disclosures of family violence by a child, developing safe parenting plans (including addressing the children’s wishes), and obtaining services and counseling for children.
