The government is set to introduce a new wave of Family Court reforms in the coming days, with Prime Minister Robert Abela saying the changes will place greater emphasis on mediation and protecting children during separation proceedings. “We’re going to be putting a lot of emphasis on mediation,” Abela said. Under the changes, mediation proceedings will be given specific timelines, with the aim of resolving disputes sooner and reducing the number of separating couples who end up fighting their cases in court. According to Abela, the central aim of the changes is to protect children’s interests while avoiding unnecessary delays in proceedings. Do you think Malta’s Family Court system needs an overhaul?
