property less adversarial trials

Key features of the less adversarial approach, which vary significantly from a traditional hearing include.

• The trial starts when the parties first meet the judge
• The judge controls the hearing process and its inquiry, not the lawyers
• The judge concentrates on getting the best information from all parties about the specific needs of the children
• A family consultant is in court from the first day as an expert adviser to the judge and parties
• The parties can speak directly to the judge and explain in their own words their case and what they want for their children
• The judge, rather than the parties or their lawyers, decides how the trial is run
• The same judge and family consultant deal with the matter throughout the trial
