Family Court admits problems with enforcement
The head of the Family Court admits there are problems with the enforcement of custody rights.
The issue's been highlighted by the case of George Betsis, a Sydney father who spent almost two weeks on the run with his son in the US.
Family Court of Australia Chief Justice Diana Bryant, has told Andrew Moore enforcement has been a problem throughout the court's history.
“It’s not that judges don’t want to enforce orders,” she said.
“I mean, people often see it as the court not wanting to enforce its own orders. I mean, of course we want them to be complied with.
“If the court’s been criticised for not enforcing its orders, why would we want that criticism.”
