Families for Justice is a non-profit organization that assists children and their parents experiencing the trauma of marital dissolution in the court system. We provide advice and advocacy to ensure justice for families caught up in the matrimonial and family courts. We are working for a faster, less costly, less distressing and less difficult system. We gather data about cases and proceedings for a greater knowledge of what works for families, where the system appears to have failed or, in some instances, where it has harmed families. We advocate vigorously within the court system, the NY State Legislature and with state and US agencies and other organizations for major reforms in the court system. An important aspect of our work is to increase awareness of the problems in family courts in New York and nationwide. We are currently working on a documentary film project to illustrate the breadth and depth of the problems. In particular, through the exposition of dramatic and real events, we hope to increase public understanding of the growing incidence of ³scandal² cases in which court processes contribute to harming families and children. If you know of any case histories worthy of inclusion in the documentary, we would be very interested in speaking with you.
