ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This report would not have been possible without the courage of the 2,072 family court survivors
who shared their experiences through this survey. Their willingness to break their silence and
document these painful experiences represent an act of profound bravery aimed at protecting
future children and families.
We extend our gratitude to Project Justice USA team members and volunteers for their
dedication to this project, and to the domestic violence organizations, researchers and advocacy
groups that helped distribute the survey to reach survivors across the nation.
Most importantly, we acknowledge the children whose voices have been silenced by the system
meant to protect them. This report is dedicated to ensuring their experiences are finally heard and
that meaningful reform follows.
