Episode 241: Family Court Awareness Month with Tina Swithin
b'November is Family Court Awareness Month. My friend and colleague, Tina Swithin, has dedicated the month of November to educating people about the family court system: how corrupt it can be, how unfair it is, and how uneducated most people in the family law system are about domestic violence.\\nTina was a guest on my podcast a few years back to share the truths about the family court system. If you fear you may end up in the family court system, you must listen to this episode. It will help you understand what family court is designed to do and enable you to prepare yourself to battle within the court system, which is not designed to protect you.\\xa0\\nListen to hear (or re-hear) this incredible conversation about family court awareness.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\xa0Featured topics include:\\n\\nFamily Court Awareness Month is an opportunity for survivors to raise awareness at a community level.\\xa0\\n\\nThe family court system is abusive.\\n\\nHow we can come together to increase awareness.\\xa0\\n\\nThe disconnect between family court and other judicial systems.

In 2020, Tina launched two major projects: The High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification Program and a nationwide campaign, Family Court Awareness Month.\\xa0\\xa0\\nThe mission at Family Court Awareness Month is to raise awareness and shine a spotlight on one of the most important branches of our judicial system; the family court system. The very system that was established to govern family law cases and make decisions that are \\u201cin the best interest\\u201d of children, has some undeniable shortcomings that warrant conversations, solutions and ultimately, change.\\xa0\\xa0\\nThe mission at Family Court Awareness Month is fueled by the desire for a family court system that is trauma-informed and educated on domestic violence, coercive control and post separation abuse. To truly act in the best interest of children, our family court system needs to incorporate empirical data and research into their decisions and rulings.\\xa0\\nResources & Links: Links and information may also be found at: kateanthony.com/podcast/episode-241-family-court-awareness-month-with-tina-swithin/\\nPre-order Kate\\u2019s book \\u201cThe D Word\\u201d and Grab Your Bonuses!Domestic Violence Training: Bridging the Gap in Divorce Law with Kate Anthony on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #318\\nFamily Court AwarenessOne Mom\\u2019s BattleTina on FacebookTina on InstagramTina on LinkedIn\\nTODAY\\u2019S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: SOBERLINKProof.
