About 'Cara's Law'
AUSTRALIA’S FAMILY LAW SYSTEM IS F@!#*ED.
Newly single mother and domestic violence survivor, Cara Grace, knows this well.
Her children are withheld from her by her abusive and wealthy ex-partner, Cara must struggle alone as she climbs the ladder of inept social services, corrupt lawyers and harsh judiciaries in order to get them back. In a system where hopelessness is rewarded with anguish, Cara will stop at nothing to be reunited with her children.
Cara’s Law is made for her children and her hopes of fairness and justice will take not only every cent she has but every ounce of her soul…
