Common Occurrence

Published articles, posts, & reports to show what is happening to you in the family courts has happened before to others

 

By Anjali Mya Chadha.

It’s extraordinary how many times I sat watching my sister during her divorce and felt that something wasn’t quite right. My gut would be saying one thing, but my head would say another. 

If I ever went with my gut and spoke to someone about what I felt was happening to her, people would often give me a ‘don’t be silly’ look or say that I was being paranoid. Some said what I was suggesting could never happen in the British courts. Each time I would retract and start doubting myself – it was all in my mind.

It was only when I was writing my podcasts and the video diary that I started stumbling across newspaper articles, blogs, and internet posts reporting on many of the issues I felt were happening in my sister’s case. I wasn’t imagining things. What was happening to my sister had happened before and/or was a common occurrence in the British family court system.

This Help Guide was created to give you access to published articles and written reports about a variety of topics including, corrupt judges, unethical practices of lawyers, and corruption within the courts, to name a few.

If ever you want to highlight something that is happening to you, you can print the associated articles as proof that what you are suggesting has happened before in the British family courts. That your experience is not a singled out event. It could instead be a common occurrence
