Lies, Damned Lies and False Allegations!
12th September 2017 - for immediate release
Independent expert evidence of unfounded and false allegations of domestic abuse in family courts.
FNF calls for independent research into the misuse of domestic abuse allegations in contact and residence cases.
"False and unfounded allegations poison proceedings when a non-resident parent is seeking parenting time with his children. Judges need to make findings of fact as soon as possible and to take false allegations into account when determining the best interests of the child."
Research into a sample of 75 Scottish family actions revealed that allegations of abuse were made in 35% of contact/residence actions and 70% were found to be false or unfounded.
