England and Wales' family courts are undergoing a major overhaul to adopt a "problem-solving," child-focused model replacing adversarial hearings, according to Minister Alison Levitt, who said the current system has treated women and children unfairly for decades. The new approach, which has reduced case backlogs and waiting times in pilot programs, will become standard for all child arrangement cases across the country by the end of parliament.
