What the Family Court Handles
Under the Family Courts Act, 1984, the Family Court deals with:
- Divorce, judicial separation, restitution of conjugal rights and nullity of marriage
- Declarations about the validity of a marriage or a person's matrimonial status
- Disputes about the property of the spouses
- Maintenance claims, including under Section 144 BNSS
- Declarations about the legitimacy of a person
- Guardianship of a person or custody of, or access to, a minor
How Proceedings Work
Family Courts are meant to be less formal than ordinary civil courts. The court is required to first try to bring about a settlement, so parties are often referred to counselling or mediation. Proceedings may be held in camera if either party wishes. Parties may appear in person, and legal representation is at the court's discretion; in practice most people take legal help because pleadings and evidence have lasting consequences.
Before Your First Hearing
- Read the petition or notice carefully and note the next date
- Collect documents — marriage proof, income records, children's details, earlier complaints
- Prepare a short written timeline of events
- Consult a lawyer early enough to file your reply or application on time
Appeals
An appeal from a judgment or order of the Family Court generally lies to the High Court, and must be filed within the limitation period. Interim orders can be enforced while the main case continues.
