Family courts are due to open to the press from April 2009, despite opposition from some lawyers and children's groups. Divorce cases, child protection hearings and domestic abuse injunctions are among the cases that journalists will be able to cover for the first time. The author asks whether this could leave children vulnerable to unwanted exposure.
