'A Practical Guide to Practice Direction 12J and Domestic Abuse in Private Law Children Proceedings' is intended to be an 'every-day guide' for family lawyers - particularly junior practitioners - on the appropriate treatment of allegations of domestic abuse in private law children proceedings in England and Wales. Readers will be guided through recent High Court and Court of Appeal decisions, the provisions of Practice Direction 12J and some of the measures introduced by the ground-breaking new Domestic Abuse Act 2021. Domestic abuse is a prominent feature in most family practitioners' private law children caseload. With the flurry of recent case law and increasing media attention on the treatment of domestic abuse in the family courts, it is imperative that practitioners know how to respond to allegations of domestic abuse robustly and sensitively. This book will be essential reading for all practitioners when case managing, and also when advising lay and professional clients on the application of Practice Direction 12J and the relevance of any allegations of domestic abuse on welfare decisions within private law children proceedings. Foreword by Professor Jo Delahunty QC. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Rebecca Cross is a specialist family law barrister at St Ives Chambers in Birmingham.
