Private law children cases and the Pathfinder model
The Pathfinder model is designed to change the way private law children cases are handled by making the process more child-focused, improving early information gathering and helping the court understand the child’s needs and welfare from the outset. In this episode of In Perspective, our family law specialists explain what private law children cases are, when court proceedings may be needed, how the traditional approach has worked, and why the Pathfinder model has been introduced. They also look at the key differences under the model, the feedback so far, when it may reach local courts, and the practical support available to families now, including mediation and child inclusive mediation.
