Abstract

Intervention with fathers who commit family violence is an essential but often overlooked part of effective family court proceedings. This article provides an overview of how evidence-informed engagement with fathers around family violence can complement family court efforts to achieve safe and healthy outcomes for children. The focus on fathers is not based on bias against fathers, men, or masculinity, but rather it is consistent with the fact that fathers comprise a substantial proportion of those who use family violence. These men need more effective engagement and interventions. Fathers in these circumstances need to be engaged in services that can assess, monitor, and manage ongoing family violence and risk as well as develop skills to form more positive, healthy relationships with their children and children's mothers. Courts, in turn, need to consider evidence of accountability and change. Application and continued development of the strategies recommended herein would enhance the safety of mothers who experience violence, their children, and the well-being of fathers who have used family violence. Collaboration with community partners serving families must become cornerstones in promoting the safety for and with all family members.

让实施家庭暴力的父亲参与进来:家庭法院面临的问题和挑战
对实施家庭暴力的父亲进行干预是有效家事法庭诉讼程序中不可或缺但却经常被忽视的一部分。本文概述了如何通过与父亲就家庭暴力问题进行循证沟通来补充家事法庭的工作,从而为儿童实现安全、健康的结果。对父亲的关注并非基于对父亲、男性或大男子主义的偏见,而是与父亲在家庭暴力施暴者中占很大比例这一事实相一致。这些男性需要更有效的参与和干预。在这种情况下,父亲需要参与到能够评估、监控和管理持续的家庭暴力和风险的服务中,并培养与子女和子女母亲建立更加积极、健康关系的技能。反过来,法院也需要考虑问责和改变的证据。本文所建议的策略的应用和持续发展将增强遭受暴力的母亲及其子女的安全,以及曾使用家庭暴力的父亲的福祉。与为家庭服务的社区伙伴合作必须成为促进所有家庭成员安全的基石。
