Mission Statement

The National Family Court Watch Project is dedicated to providing an impartial assessment of the effectiveness of family courts in dealing with custody, visitation, support, and property issues. This project has a strong focus on how child protection and family violence are addressed by the court.

Giving Tuesday is December 2, 2024!

Your contribution to the National Family Court Watch Project helps train court observers, collect critical data, and drive meaningful reforms for a fairer, more transparent system.

Every action counts:

$25 funds training materials for court observers.

$50 supports research into family court trends.

$100 helps host community events to raise awareness.

$250+ powers advocacy campaigns to create real change.
