Family Dispute Lawyer

Introduction

The number of family disputes is continuously increasing in today's modern era. Although marriage in India is considered a sacred bond, this holy relationship often breaks down for various reasons. This mutual dispute often reaches such a situation that it becomes impossible to resolve it through mutual discussion.

There are different types of courts in India. One of those courts is also a family court. Before the concept of the Family Court, all civil courts used to function as Family Courts. It has been called a family court because it works to settle disputes in people's homes and families. In the disputes that happen in the family, mainly there are disputes between husband and wife. Before the introduction of the Family Court Act, the Civil Court used to have jurisdiction in these disputes.

In 1984, the Government of India brought the Family Court Act to Parliament. Through this act, a separate court was created to settle family disputes. Family disputes also used to get stuck in civil courts for years, and the parties could not get justice. The government has brought the Family Court Act of 1984 to deal with this problem.

The process of civil cases is a bit long, due to which justice is only available slowly. In contrast, in family courts, after filing any case, the process related to the hearing is over very quickly, and the parties get a quick decision.

What types of cases does the Family Court deal with?

The Family Court deals with the following types of cases:

•    Child Custody: The Family Court has the power to award the custody of the child to an appropriate person and to make that proper person the guardian of a minor. Child custody cases are filed in the family court where the child usually resides. For example, if the father lives in Uttar Pradesh and the mother lives in Mumbai with the minor child, and the father wants custody of the child, then the father has to file a case in the Family Court of Mumbai. The Family Court also deals with cases related to juvenile delinquency. It also covers foster care approval and reviews matters.

•    Domestic Violence / Protection Orders: In the Family Court Act, no provision has been made regarding cases of domestic violence in cases of domestic violence. However, there is a provision under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (DV Act), according to which the family court can try cases related to domestic violence. Day by day, domestic violence against women is coming to the fore. Due to this, the Domestic Violence Act was brought in 2005. Under which a case should be registered against the violence against women at home.

•    Divorce: India is one of the most populous countries, and the number of married couples is relatively high here. Due to more married couples, there are more chances of disputes between their families. In such a situation, he can file a case in the Family Court for settlement of disputes. In India, the Family Court can entertain appeals from divorce decrees under various Acts such as the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act, 1939, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, and the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936. Divorce Act 1869, Special Marriage Act 1954, Foreign Marriage Act 1969, etc. One can file an appeal for divorce under the Hindu Marriage (Validation of Proceedings) Act, 1960, for the dissolution of Hindu marriage. Matters related to marriage between husband and wife, such as declaring a marriage void or questioning the validity of marriage, judicial separation, and divorce matters, go to the family court.

•    Restitution of Conjugal Rights and Maintenance matters: Cases of restitution of conjugal rights and wife maintenance after divorce are also dealt with through the Family Court. Their application is made through the family court only. When the decision given by the Family Court is not acceptable to the other party, then the matter goes to the High Court.

•    Property Dispute: As per Explanation (c) to section 7(1) of the Family Courts Act, the Family Court has jurisdiction over disputes relating to the parties' property to the marriage. Generally, disputes between the parties to a marriage arise when a decree of divorce is passed. A Family Court can entertain a suit or proceeding relating to property disputes of the parties to a marriage, subject to the fulfillment of two conditions:

1.    Such dispute must have arisen only between the parties to the marriage
2.    Such dispute must have occurred on account of the property of either party.
