Family Law
Family Court
A specialised court set up to handle matrimonial and family disputes, with an emphasis on conciliation and settlement before adversarial litigation.
Family Courts are dedicated forums for matters like divorce, maintenance, custody, and matrimonial property disputes, generally following simplified procedures and encouraging mediation or counselling before a case proceeds to a contested trial.
Parties in a Family Court can often represent themselves without a lawyer, though most still choose to be represented given the legal and financial stakes involved.
