That is fair enough. I would agree with that and I will work with the Deputy on the mechanisms by which we can do that. There is change happening in the family court system and even with the new family court building. I am determined to get those changes through. The Deputy is correct about removing the pressure from the individual. It should be more systemic. When decisions are made in the courts, they should be followed through on and there should be an oversight mechanism that makes sure a person fulfils the obligations as determined by the courts.
