If you are wondering what the future of family law looks like, then look no further than this interview with the President of the Family Division, Sir Stephen Cobb. The short answer is that the future is going to focus on problem-solving.

The President tells us about how he is going implement his priorities, which are the five ‘Rs’: relationships, resources, reforms, results and respects. You will be pleased to hear that this included working to strengthen relationships between NCDR and the court system in order to help families.
