This is an account of how the family court system in the UK is totally inadequate in serving the best interests of the child, particularly where domestic abuse is or has been present.
This book should be available to everyone involved in the process from abused parents, CAFCASS, social services, solicitors, barristers and judges.
It is clear from this factual account that those people in position to protect children and families are clearly failing in their duties by being ignorant to the impact of domestic abuse and the capabilities of the perpertrators.
Overall it is an excellent account and should be widely available to those who could benefit from reading it.

An excellent book for anybody involved with the Family Courts or interested in domestic violence. It tells the true story of Cristina's fight with her abusive ex husband to stop him abusing her and the children. It is frightening the way the courts prefer to put the father's rights to see his children before the children's and mother's right to safety. So much of the book echos my own experience of the Family courts and shows how little officials know or care about sufferers of domestic abuse.
A must read for those who are involved in making the laws, judging family law cases or involved in any way with family courts.
Well written and heart rendering, you really feel for Cristina and her children. It is scary in this day and age that domestic abuse is tolerated, ignored and so little understood and Cristina has gone some way towards redressing the balance. More victims like Cristina need to stand up and make their stories heard so that children stop suffering at the hands of their abusive fathers.
