| | Family law is an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations including, but not limited to marriage, civil unions, divorce, spousal abuse, child custody and visitation, property, alimony, and child support awards, as well as child abuse issues, and adoption. | | | Family courts typically deny faultless fathers their equal parental rights even when state law appears to require equal custody. | | | In many jurisdictions in the United States, the family courts see the most crowded dockets. |

| | Family law or domestic relations is an area of the law that deals with family related issues such as marriage, spousal abuse, divorce, child custody, visitation, adoption and domestic partnership agreements. | | | Often family law is administered by a family court which may also hear matters involving children such as domestic violence, juvenile delinquency, child custody, visitation, guardianships, child abuse, paternity and adoption in couples that are not married, in a common-law marriage and in civil unions. | | | The use of the term 'divorce' has been replaced with 'dissolution of marriage', the modern action used in all the states of the United States except New York. |

| | Of course, the family courts would be flooded and overloaded just the same if it weren't for the fact that equitable and just judicial procedures such as jury trials and the rules of evidence had been deliberately omitted from the family court procedures that were put in place. | | | The family court system was set up in the late sixties to alleviate the burden on the civil- and criminal courts. | | | It is therefore no surprise that lawyers commonly refer to a family court as "kangaroo court," except when the lawyers become family court judges. |
