Role Of Family Courts In Matrimonial Disputes?

When marriage takes place in our society, it brings different goals into an individual's life considering the families involved in it and the goal keeps changing throughout the lives attached to the institution of marriage. These change of goals lead to  matrimonial disputes because of disagreements over how marriage and lives should function.

Marital conflicts are obviously not pleasing and unwelcomed as they may have a huge impact on the lives of individuals involved in it.  Such disputes pave the way for separation and divorce. Divorce occurs not for any one reason rather it's a series of events which are not handled gently.

Role of Family Court:

Family courts Act 1984 was enacted specifically to resolve such issues in family courts through conciliation and speedy settlement of disputes related to marriage and family matters.

Objectives of Family Court:

1. To provide justice and dispose of the issues at the earliest possible.
2. Promote outside settlement of court via conciliation and mediation.
3. Save family bonds

Services at Family Court:

1. Court Clerks: They help keep you updated about court records and information on daily court calendars and schedules.
2. Self Help center: These centers provide you with resources such as educational training , court procedures and forms but no legal advice
3. Mediation: These centers help to resolve parental and marital issues such as custody or visitation rights. Non biased mediators make an agreement that shall be treated as private and confidential.
4. Interpreters: These courts provide interpreters for non-english speakers so that at least the language should not be the barrier in the court. 

Duties of Family Court: 

1. Persuade the Parties for settlement
2. If court finds that reasonable settlement can be done then it adjourns the proceeding for the time it thinks fit.
