Andrew looks at the family law Courts with the help of Roisin O\u2019Shea Phd candidate and author of a far reaching report on Judicial Separation and Divorce in the Circuit Court and John Devlin of Barron Morris. Roisin\u2019s research leads her to the conclusion that the family law Courts should be replaced with a different type of system.
