Family Courts, Domestic Abuse & Protecting Children | Julia Margo

What happens when a parent trying to protect their children enters a family court system that doesn’t always recognise abuse?

In this episode of Care Visions Professional Talk, Humphrey Hawksley speaks with Julia Margo, co-founder of Fair Hearing, about domestic abuse, coercive control, safeguarding and the realities of navigating the family justice system.

Julia shares her personal experience of discovering her former partner was a convicted child sex offender and the eight-year legal battle that followed while trying to protect her children.

The conversation explores:

• domestic abuse and coercive control
• child protection and safeguarding
• parental alienation allegations
• trauma-informed justice
• family court reform
• resilience and recovery
• supporting victims through legal systems

Julia now works with survivors and legal professionals through Fair Hearing, helping improve understanding of victim experiences within the judiciary and wider justice system.
