The Columbus Pilot in the Family Court of Western Australia: What the Parents Said

This paper presents a summary of some of the key findings of the impact of the Columbus Pilot project implemented in the Family Court of Western Australia (FCWA) from the perspective of the parents who were allocated to the pilot group. These data were generated from a series of semistructured interviews with 19 parents. Parents were asked to comment on various aspects of their experience of the Columbus individualised case-management process in general and the case-conferencing component in particular. Their interactions with and experiences of court personnel, lawyers, child representatives, and court experts were also canvassed. In addition, parents’ opinions about the impact of Columbus on their children, their ex-partners, and themselves are presented. The general consensus of the parents was that participation in Columbus had been a positive experience. The paper concludes with a brief summary of some of the broader effects of Columbus on the FCWA.
