Response to Chief Justice Diana Bryant, 'Courting Peace for Children' From: Sunday Herald Sun. May 03, 2009

In 2008 The Family Law Court of Australia left 2 0f my 3 Children in the care of a abusive Father. The Court found that in 2006, the Father made false child sex and physical abuse allegations. The Court found that the Father's conduct towards his Children & their Mother had been nothing short of, "despicable" and that it had been calculated at every turn to punish the Mother for leaving the relationship and it had been executed without the slightest regards for the proper interests of the Children. My ex-Husband used these insidious alienation tactics in the perjury free arena of our Family Court System. Parental Alienation is psychological child abuse. The Family Court must take a stand on "PARENTS", who use alienation tactics. Instead it has been my experience, that the Court System & it's legal culture facilitates the process of Parental alienation. Don't make this a gender issue!! The Family Court does not always act in the best interests of the Children!! This is not in the best interests of our Family!!

Through my art practise, I wish to bring awareness to Parental Alienation & The Family Court System.

The Family Court of Australia is a custodial legal system where supposedly, the interest of the Child is paramount. Instead it has been my experience, that this system facilitates the process of Parental Alienation. Zealous advocacy & The Family Courts painstakingly slow process have actually damaged my familial relations. I was alienated from all three of my children due to my ex-husband making false & malicious child sex abuse & domestic violence allegations in Court. He did this to obtain valuable time to set in motion the insidious parental alienation process, which turns Children against their own Family. He was able to execute this insidious practise in the perjury free arena of our Family Court. This has created a situation of profound grief, suffering and a disturbingly divided family remain.

I wish the Family Court would take a stand on parent's who use parental alienation tactics.
