Petition Review how family court considers children's voices and feelings

We need a review to examine how family courts hear from children about their feelings. We believe children are suffering and are concerned about long term effects if child arrangements orders are placed with no review or even children being properly heard in courts. This needs changing.

More details

I would like for a review to look into how child arrangement orders are reviewed and any necessary reforms implemented to ensure there are sufficient checks done on the children to see that they are coping / managing with the arrangements and for their voice to actually be listened to.
