Vallabh, Sheetal Africa, Adelene Clinical Psychology Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 71-81). This study outlined the changing social and legal contexts insofar as it relates [sic] to children’s participation in matters that affect their lives. It set out the debates in the literature on whether [or] not children should participate in family law matters, specifically custody disputes, and if so, how this participation should take place. It also drew upon research studies which have explored directly children’s views on the issue. The challenges involved in custody evaluations were scrutinised, specifically in relation to the Family Advocate’s Office, and alternative and/or complementary methods of accessing the child’s voice were considered. In South Africa, in all access and/or custody disputes, the Family Advocate’s Office is tasked with making recommendations to the court, which are in the child’s best interest. 2015-01-13T04:05:20Z 2015-01-13T04:05:20Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12146 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
