Hot topics that may arise in family

Is family law civil or criminal?

Family law generally involves issues that have to be decided when an intimate relationship breaks down, and can also involve child care matters. These are technically civil law issues as well but there are rules and court forms that are specific to family law.

Can a family court judge send you to jail?

A Family Court judge can only order an abuser to jail if he violates an existing Order of Protection.

What is the purpose of family law?

The Family Law Act 1975 focuses on the rights of children and the responsibilities that each parent has towards their children, rather than on parental rights. The Act aims to ensure that children can enjoy a meaningful relationship with each of their parents, and are protected from harm.
