Familia specialise in writing court reports. Our team of experts have been completing reports for families for five years. Unlike some assessors who may have gender bias, Familia have a mixed team who can assess each family individually if needed and we ensure that all of our recommendations offer the very best outcomes for family members, especially for children.
In some cases, you may be required to attend for family therapy sessions either before or after your court report. As Systemic family therapists the Familia team are well placed to help your family with our expertise in the family therapy domain. We work with children, teenagers and individual parents to make sure that their voices are respected during the initial assessment phase of the section 32 or 47 report.

We think that every family member has a right to be heard. We also give special attention to your child’s voice. For some families that are experiencing separation or conflict, all too often children are not listened to properly. Parents are sometimes too overwhelmed with their own personal problems to properly hear and respect their childrens’ needs.
Each family is different. In the assessment phase of our process, we discuss with you what we believe is in your family’s best interests. We then support you in creating a new carefully structured plan to give your family the assistance, tools and practical skills it needs to navigate the sometimes difficult journey through the Courts.
Familia are family therapy experts. Understanding family dynamics and recognising challenges like parental alienation are two key features offered by the Familia team.
