juvenile and domestic relations courts
Juvenile and domestic relations courts are specialized courts that handle cases involving minors and family-related issues. These courts address matters such as child custody, child support, and juvenile delinquency. Their primary goal is to ensure the well-being of children and families while promoting rehabilitation and support rather than punishment.
These courts operate under a different set of rules compared to regular criminal or civil courts. They often focus on mediation and counseling to resolve disputes, aiming to create a more supportive environment for families. The judges in these courts are trained to understand the unique challenges faced by children and families.
