When

Hey, #PSA - the #courtsystem exists as it is, flaws and all, and we have to operate within that system (even as many of us work actively to change it). If your #childcustody #case is coming up and it involves allegations of abuse, you're going to need more than just #allegations to win #primarycustody!

You , as a licensed barrister, cannot seriously be suggesting courts convict men without evidence?

@@Neoteny374 it's not criminal. It's civil. It's not a question of conviction - it's a question, in a custody case, of best interests of the child. DV cases - cases involving coercive control, cases involving trauma or CAMS - often don't have the kind of evidence you'd need to convict in a criminal sense. It doesn't mean that there isn't any evidence or that conclusions can't reasonably be drawn. Also - many of these children are forced into situations where they suffer further abuse or are murdered.
