What Family Justice Systems Can Learn from Canada
This paper examines what family justice systems can learn from Canada’s evolving approach to domestic abuse, coercive control, child protection, and post-separation abuse. It explores legislative progress, implementation gaps, fragmented safeguarding, and why governance capability is essential to turn legal recognition into practical protection.
The Intersection of Domestic Violence and Child Custody
This paper examines how domestic violence influences child custody proceedings in the United States and explores broader governance lessons for family justice systems worldwide. It analyses coercive control, post-separation abuse, child welfare, safeguarding, parental alienation disputes, and the institutional capability required to translate legal protections into effective outcomes.
Why Family Justice Should Assess Behaviour, Not Personality
This paper argues that family justice should move beyond informal labels such as “narcissist” or “sociopath” and focus instead on legally relevant behaviour: coercive control, manipulation, economic abuse, litigation abuse, disclosure manipulation, post-separation abuse, and patterns of domination that can be evidenced and assessed.
When the System Becomes the Weapon
This paper examines how corporate structures, alleged impecuniosity, selective disclosure, forum-shopping, litigation abuse, and procedural manipulation can distort financial remedy proceedings. It explores alter ego assets, fraud, non-disclosure, economic abuse, and why family justice requires stronger disclosure integrity and governance safeguards.
DEPLOY-001 — SAFECHAIN™ National Deployment Framework™
ECON-001 introduces the SAFECHAIN™ Economic Model™ as the flagship publication within the SAFECHAIN™ Economic Architecture Series (ECON™). The paper demonstrates that safeguarding is not only a legal, ethical and human rights obligation but also a significant economic issue. It examines the financial impact of fragmented safeguarding systems, delayed intervention, repeated assessments, institutional duplication, litigation, housing instability, health deterioration and preventable harm. By establishing an evidence-based economic framework, the publication positions SAFECHAIN™ as a model for reducing public expenditure, improving institutional efficiency, strengthening safeguarding outcomes and delivering measurable social return on investment through intelligence-led governance.
