Family Courts were established in India under the Family Courts Act, 1984, with the primary objective of providing speedy and amicable settlement of disputes arising from family relationships.

Family Courts, therefore, serve as specialised forums that combine judicial authority with mediation and counselling efforts to resolve family disputes in a just and efficient manner.
This article provides a detailed discussion on the different types of cases that are addressed by Family Courts in India. It also explores the unique features of the Family Courts and their role in the judicial system.
