Lens of Care @ ACPCS 2 – Family cases before the court

We examine each family’s case through the lens of care,  the extent to which the legal landscape of substantive rules, laws and legal procedures (i.e. the hardware), as well as the roles and behaviour of the family justice participants (i.e. the software), produce helpful or harmful consequences. 

The objective would be to help build good hardware and great software as both are needed. For example, the counselling or mediation process is a good hardware as it enables parties to participate in findings solutions for themselves. However, poor application may still result in anti-therapeutic outcomes.

At ACPCS, we pledge to work with our clients through the lens of care to help families achieve justice that (i) Protects families and children.(ii) (iii) Restores and helps parties adjust to new lives apart. Empowers and

supports families, especially parents, in their co-parenting efforts.
