Family Court Secrets Enable Abuse | Cork News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Family court secrecy, enforced by the in-camera rule, is sparking outrage as advocates argue it shields abusers from public scrutiny. The Right to Transparency campaign highlights how this privacy can be weaponized, especially against victims trying to escape toxic relationships. Barrister Lisa Ann Wilkinson shares harrowing cases — including women jailed for denying contact with abusive exes — and reveals young adults, now adults, still suffering from forced court-mandated contact years later. While privacy matters, critics insist the current system is enabling harm, demanding reform to ensure justice and protection for all.
