2026-27 Road Map
You are not alone.
Families in Montana, and across the US have been experiencing abuse in litigious family law cases for years. Abusers use the court as a stage to weaponize victim’s behaviors and reactions.
Unsubstantiated abuse allegations are often wielded against families, while in the same vein allowing cases with documented abuse to slip through cracks, leading directly to more harm.
The Project hopes to spread awareness about these issues our communities face. As we continue forward, we will also be gladly working with organizations in other states who face these same situations.
We are stronger together than we are alone.
The Project continues to work towards the goal of bettering the courts for the families of Montana. Through trauma-informed education and reinforcing safety, ethics, and accountability across the professionals involved in family law.
We hope to work with the Judicial educational oversight committees and boards to ensure judges are sufficiently educated to handle the complexities of the family law cases that are put before them.
Preparation for the 2027 legislative term has already begun for the Project.
Getting on top of understanding the issues facing the community across the state, ensures the Project can create detailed solutions with decisive actionable plans to benefit the communities it serves.
Bad faith actors continue to face no consequences for their actions, and it is time for the checks and balances to be placed.
The National Center for Juvenile Justice has released a training program that is ideal for all legal professionals within Montana’s child welfare courts. There are two other valuable trainings that teach how to handle families in these high-conflict situations. We hope to present this to the Judicial Education Board, as it would promote confidence in skills involved with dealing with family law cases and training in adolescents’ development and the importance of youth participation in their legal and relational permeance.
“We Montanan’s see the streams, minerals and land as our best resource, but it is the children of MT that are our most valuable resource. Protecting our children is the most important thing we can do for our future” - Inspired by Rep. Gene Donaldson
Legislative Session 2025
The Project works as a nonpartisan group aiming for protection of the children and families in the state.
A Resource for All Montanan Families
Our goal is to educate, network, and help foster growth in both our judiciary system and families across the state.
