Familia: Supporting Families
Familia is dedicated to supporting families experiencing challenges in family law, especially section 32/47 reports.
Report Writing
Familia specialize in writing court reports. Our team of experts have been writing reports for families like yours for many years. Unlike individual assessors who may have gender bias, Familia have a mixed team who both assess each family individually and ensure that all of our recommendations offer the very best outcomes for family members.
Family Therapy
In many circumstances, you may be asked to attend family therapy either before or after your court report. As registered systemic family therapists the Familia team are perfectly placed to offer your family our expertise in the family therapy domain. We also work with children, teenagers and individual parents to ensure that their voices are heard during the assessment phase of the section 32 or 47 report.
Parenting Coaching
Liz Wilson is one of the best parenting coaches in the country who will support you, guide you and develop your parenting skills to ensure that both you and your children grow together as a family. One very important aspect of our work is parenting assessments. We will make a recommendation to the Court about either parent’s capacity to be the very best parent they can be. You do not need a court order to initiate a parenting assessment with Familia.
Who We Are
David Kavanagh and Liz Wilson are Systemic Family Therapists. Between them they have over 70 years of experience supporting families. They are very professional and take their work very seriously. They are committed to ensuring that your experience of going to Court is as beneficial to your family as possible.
Every report written by the Familia team is peer reviewed. In other words David checks Liz’s work and she checks his. They do this to ensure that fairness and equality are two key features of every report that they write. This helps to prevent legal teams from dismissing reports in a hearing for being biased or one-sided.
When needed, the Familia team expands to include other consultants. In some cases that involves teachers or psychologists conducting Section 32 ‘B’ reports.
Why not contact David today to discuss your case and learn how Familia can support your family.
Our Philosophy
We believe that every family member has a right to be heard. We give special consideration to your child’s voice. In many families experiencing separation or conflict, all too often the voice of the child goes unheard. Parents are sometimes too consumed with their own personal issues to properly hear and understand their childrens’ needs.
Every family is unique. In the assessment phase of our process, we explore with you what we think is in your family’s best interests. We then support you in designing a carefully structured plan to give your family the resources, tools and skills it needs to navigate the sometimes painful journey through the Court system.
