Children cannot be called as witnesses in court and are not compelled to express opinions about parenting arrangements. Additionally, it is considered inappropriate to discuss proceedings with your child(ren). However, there are a few forums in which a child\u2019s views can be canvassed.

They are typically ordered in the early stages of parenting proceedings, opposed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcfcoa.gov.au\/fl\/pubs\/family-reports\">Family Consultant Reports<\/a>, which are ordered under Section 62G of the Family Law Act when proceedings have progressed to a final hearing stage<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The purpose of a Child Impact Report is to address the views of parents and child(ren) in the early stages to see if it can help parents to refine the issues in dispute, or even, resolve the matter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assessment for a Child Impact Report occurs in two stages:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In stage one, the child\u2019s parents will be interviewed separately and asked about their child(ren) generally and whether there are any ongoing risks to them in co-parenting after separation. The interview can take up to 2 hours and is typically conducted via an online platform, such as Microsoft Teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stage two occurs in person on a separate day. The interviewer will meet with the child(ren) and may wish to speak to the parents again or observe the parents interactions with their child(ren). The court advises participants to set aside time from 9am to 1pm on the day of Stage 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Who conducts the interviews and prepares the report?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Court Child Expert will conduct the interviews and prepare the report. Court Child Experts are qualified psychologists or social workers who specialise in children\u2019s issues during court proceedings. They work in the Court Children\u2019s service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can I sit in with my child whilst their interview is being conducted?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Court Child Expert may ask to observe your interactions with your child, however, you cannot sit with your child whilst they are being interviewed. Court Child Experts have experience working with children and will pose all questions in an accessible, friendly and approachable manner. If your child feels uncomfortable, they will not be compelled to respond to questions or give their opinion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What questions will my child be asked?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your children will be given the opportunity to express any thoughts or feelings about the proceedings. The Court Child Expert may ask about your child\u2019s:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relationship with parents;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experiences living with each parent, including any incidents that are of concern to the Court Child Expert;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weekly and daily routines, including friendships and schoolwork;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feelings, emotions or beliefs in relation to their parents\u2019 separation;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relationship with siblings, if applicable.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must not coach your child on what to say but can advise them that they are going to meet with someone who would like to ask about their experiences and views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How much weight is placed on the findings from a Child Impact Report?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Child Impact Report is only one source of evidence that the Court will rely on when making Orders. It will be considered in conjunction with all other evidence filed in the proceedings. The Court is not required to make orders in accordance with the report\u2019s recommendations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, at that early stage of proceedings, the report could be the only source available to the court which is independent evidence. If the parties disagree about what is in the best interests of a child, the report can provide an objective overview of the circumstances. If you disagree with the findings of a Child Impact Report, it is best to raise this in court and with your lawyer. If the matter proceeds to trial, then the report writer may be cross-examined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are going through parenting proceedings and\/or are
