Bella* is a mother who escaped a domestic violence relationship with her children. She never expected the system designed to protect her kids could cause further harm.
Bella’s perpetrator used the family court system to continue the ongoing cycle of abuse and control.
Now, women around the country with experiences like Bella’s are instigating a class action against the Family court.
They are also calling for a royal commission into the court they claim is exposing them and their children to harm instead of protecting them.
If you are experiencing domestic and family violence, please contact the national counselling service:
