5 years time the way people access family law services will be very
different than it is today - because we will drive change in that area. If
we kept our scope down to just providing chat rooms and a forum, then in 5
years time solicitors would be running things in the
same way that they do now. We have to get involved in the service side to
drive change in that area - it won't happen on its own.What you say about Wikivorce creating change is interesting and I'm sure
sincerely believed, but I would still find it deeply depressing if in 5
years time people were merely accessing family law services differently,
while the services themselves, and certainly the family justice system,
remained substantially unaltered. It's not a very ambitious or imaginative
vision. I think many people might want to see much more radical change,
and much more urgently.
Slow, reasoned, reasonable change has
been advocated before, and sometimes it results in a slight earth tremor,
and then the dust settles again for another decade or two. It's hard to
believe, for example, that FNF is already older than many of the parents on
this forum. How long are we prepared to wait? How many more generations
of damaged children? In the mean time I see F4J is once again moving its
slow thighs,
