Dear Family Court Judge

 To the Judge in Family Courts: A Brief Note

Keywords: collusion, misfeasance, perjury, ad hominem, article 6, Mediation

Collusion between social workers and legal teams is not only unjust and far from probity—it undermines the foundational principles of the justice system. When such coordination leads to misleading or false statements being presented in court, it effectively constitutes perjury (as defined under the Perjury Act 1911, Section 1).

Allowing parties freedom to present their case in their own way, could help. Solicitors creating statements for their clients as verbatim when they are not, ought to be reviewed. 

When falsehoods are knowingly permitted or unchallenged by the court, and decisions are made on that basis, it amounts to misfeasance in public office—a recognized tort under common law. This is a serious breach of duty that carries legal consequences.

Rubber-stamping such conduct compromises the integrity of the court and violates the principle of judicial impartiality, which is protected under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights—the right to a fair trial.

Ad hominem attacks by professionals, often used to dismiss legitimate concerns without evidence, may seem efficient in a time-pressured environment. However, they do not meet the standard of procedural fairness required in family law proceedings, particularly when decisions affect the welfare and fundamental rights of children and parents.

Eventually, the truth may come to light—perhaps through appeals, independent reviews, or broader exposure of systemic issues. When it does, those who allowed or enabled injustice, even passively, may be seen as complicit.

 That includes those in positions of judicial authority who failed to act as safeguards against misconduct.

The value of mediation is discussed elsewhere, but to insist on it for all parties as an alternative to legal action would prevent such heartache and cruelty to vulnerable people.


In law and in conscience, accountability matters.

The Witchhunt

From my upcoming memoir: 'My son suffers from severe autism or possibly Angelman syndrome (which wasn't definitively excluded when he underwent genetic testing). As a concerned parent, I reached out to several specialists in the field of autism, desperate to know how best to support him. In 1994, when my son was two, I started an information service called Autistic Information Matters to seek answers, provide support, and share facts. After much difficulty with professionals—including a Professor Ben Sacks who cruelly suggested I send my two-year-old to an institution (I told him to get out)—I discovered Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). At the time, I believed it might be a miracle cure that could help my son begin speaking. However, after extensive research and insights from other parents, I came to realize that autism is an umbrella term, encompassing a variety of conditions rather than a single disorder. (I have written more about this elsewhere.) During this time, I wa...

Evidence Against Trans?

  chatgpt & liz lucy robillard, April 21st, 2025 It's natural to want to protect women from harm, especially from serious threats like rape. Some argue that to prevent even one assault, trans women (biological males) should be excluded from female-only spaces like toilets and prisons.  While this comes from a place of caution, it doesn’t hold up under evidence or ethical scrutiny. *Studies consistently show that inclusive policies do not increase assault rates in restrooms or changing rooms* Trans women using female spaces *does not* correlate with higher risks of violence against cisgender women according to studies.  The idea that cis men might pretend to be trans to access women’s areas is *extremely rare* and laws already exist to punish such behavior.  Are those laws effective enough? On the other hand, trans women face high rates of violence when forced into male-designated spaces, especially in prisons or public areas.  Denying them access often puts ...

Honouring Abused Women

  The idea that vulnerability disqualifies you from safety is perverse. It’s a cruel inversion of morality, peddled by the very professions sworn to protect. Social workers (not all, but enough to matter), lawyers, psychiatrists, police—these institutions too often treat a traumatised woman as a nuisance, a liability, or worse, a fantasist. If you flinch, you’re dramatic. If you weep, you’re unstable. If you speak up, you’re paranoid. This grotesque logic renders a woman’s suffering not only invisible, but suspect. They do not ask, What happened to her? They ask, What is wrong with her? It’s psychiatry’s favourite bait-and-switch. Diagnoses fly like confetti—borderline, histrionic, treatment-resistant—as though medical jargon could smother the stench of misogyny. And the legal profession is no better. A woman under siege is told to document everything while her stalker moves freely, slipping through legal loopholes like grease through fingers. The solution is not to plead more pre...
