Funded Activity Summary

WHY CONTACT ORDERS FAIL: ASSUMPTIONS AND REALITY. This project addresses the growing problem of Family Court litigation to enforce orders for parent-child contact after separation. Recent policy responses to this significant problem have been based on assumptions and anecdotal evidence about why parents fail to comply with contact orders. As the first empirical study of the issue, the project's central aim is to analyse data collected from Family Court files to obtain a clear understanding of the causes and effectiveness of enforcement proceedings. The research findings will provide a sound basis for assessing the current approach to contraventions of contact orders, and for designing any necessary reforms.
