This research page provides articles, statistics, and peer-reviewed studies on the harms families can experience in family court. It highlights both common and less-discussed issues, including emotional and financial strain, prolonged litigation, family separation, false allegations, misuse of orders of protection, judicial bias, broad judicial discretion, and decisions made without strong evidence-based support.

The page is intended to educate parents, advocates, legal professionals, and policymakers about how family court practices can affect children, parents, and family stability, while emphasizing the need for greater accountability, transparency, and evidence-based reform.
