Family court

From LawGuru Wiki

A family court is a court convened to make orders in respect of custody of children.

Family Court in the United Kingdom

Two types of scenario are covered by The Children Act 1989: private law cases, where the applicant and respondent are usually the child's parents; and public law cases, where the parents are not directly involved. There is much debate at present over whether the manner in which the law is administered generally leads to outcomes that are beneficial to the families concerned. In this context, see fathers' rights.
