family court (dict)

Family CourtA family court is a court convened in the UK to make orders in respect of children's residence. 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. See also External links * DADS in FAMILY COURT (US Case Law)
