Kids' Charter

Hey Kids, if your family needs help from the family law courts, everyone in the Courts want you to know:

You’re our top priority

Every decision the Courts make focuses on what’s best for you. Your safety and needs are the most important things.

We care what you think

You have the right to share your thoughts and feelings about what’s happening in your life. The Courts will listen carefully, but it’s okay if you don’t want to say anything.

We want you to understand what is happening

The Courts want you to get all the important information you need, in a way that makes sense to you.

We want Court to feel safe for you

The places you go and the people you see as part of the Court process should make you feel comfortable, respected and safe.
