The Family Courts Act is a law enacted in India in 1984 to establish family courts for resolving disputes related to marriage, divorce, child custody, and maintenance. The primary aim of this act is to provide a more accessible and efficient legal process for families, ensuring that cases are handled sensitively and expeditiously. Under the Family Courts Act, judges are trained to deal with family matters, focusing on reconciliation and mediation. The act encourages alternative dispute resolution methods, aiming to reduce the emotional and financial burden on families involved in legal disputes.
