In B.C. we have a serious problem that a lot of family law litigants aren't represented, but in cases where people have lawyers representing them, it would make sense for lawyers to be able to do that screening and present that evidence to the court. In cases where people aren't represented, or in cases where that information just hasn't been brought to the attention of the judge, Donna Martinson has done a number of papers around specialist training for judges, or using judges who have access to specialized training and also talking about the role of judges and giving them the ability to ask those questions if they're not receiving the information from the parties or the lawyers.
