"There is a national crisis for women and their children in the family
law courts of this country. Affirmed by experts and leaders in the
women’s movement, the existence of this crisis is verified by women in
every state who report injustice in their family law cases, especially
battered mothers trying to protect their children from abusive fathers
who aggressively litigate against them, using family court to stalk,
harass, punish, and impoverish their former partners and children. NOW
recognizes this crisis for women and their children and seeks to address
discrimination against women in family courts.
The information presented here has been compiled by the National NOW Family Law Advisory Ad Hoc Committee.
Created in April 2004, this all-volunteer committee is comprised of
parents, grandparents, activists, paralegals, organizers, attorneys, and
advocates from across the nation devoting their collective experience
and expertise in family law and navigating the family court system to
NOW’s work in promoting justice and equality for women."
