Who cares more - family court lawyers or guardians?

The particular post refers to a comment made by a children's guardian, who accuses legal folk of not caring about children.

She points out that although legal delays may be frustrating they may well be necessary to ensure justice is done:

If a parent seeks a step to be taken in proceedings to enable them to have a fair trial this may well cause delay but this does not necessarily mean that such a course of action is not child focussed.

She goes on to say:

What some professionals interpret as not caring is no more than our professional ability to take a step back from making judgments about what is or is not worth delaying matters for, and focussing on preparing the case properly so that the judge who has to make the final decision can make the right decision first time round.

I think it's really interesting to get a different perspective on these things.

Meanwhile, Wall takes a different tack, suggesting too much emphasis is being placed on how much people "care" to the detriment of other more reasoned factors:

Unfortunately the virtues of disinterestedness and objectivity seem to be challenged on all sides. Passion, commitment, engagement and expression of strong emotion are increasingly admired, not only in the Family Courts...

I tend to agree.
