Children and court
#2
Well good for you and well done for your little ones. The system in the UK is slightly different, in that children dont appear in family proceedings. The Courts here appoint a 'Welfare Officer' who over a period of months interview children at home, speak to their schools and other relevant parties. The welfare officer then prepare a 'Section 7 Report' for the Courts, on which a Judge bases his decision.

This process is a lot more child friendly and protects them from the stresses associated with proceedings.

But I agree with you, before having children, people should be more aware of legal and social aspects relating to children. It is a pitty that in many cases relationship breakdowns cant be resolved ammicably and that little souls should be torn apart by it all.
