Study of The Family Courts Act, 1984

Abstract

The concept of Family court implies an integrated broad- based service to families in trouble. Litigation in regard to any matter concerning family, whether divorce, maintenance and alimony, or custody, education and financial support for children etc. should not be viewed in terms of failure or success of legal actions but as a social therapeutic problem needing solution. It should be viewed as litigation in which parties and there counsel are engaged in resolving family conflicts where humane considerations outweigh everything else.
