Association of Family & Conciliation Courts (AFCC)
A SAFeR Approach to Parenting Arrangements
May 15, 2018 | Webinar
Child custody decision-making in the context of allegations of intimate partner violence can be challenging. Family Court practitioners simultaneously seek to promote the safety and wellbeing of children and their battered parents while respecting the rights and interests of parents who are accused of DV and/or unjustifiably estranged from their children. This workshop introduces practitioners to a four-pronged approach known as “SAFeR” which can assist in decision-making in IPV-related cases. The SAFeR approach can be utilized by any family court practitioner in order to produce safer, more workable outcomes in IPV-involved parenting disputes.
