Family-court definition

The family court in your state will determine the amount of any child support payments after the parents file for a divorce.

Finally, a close link between the school, law enforcement, juvenile court, family court officials, and social service agencies may lead to solutions for truancy.

In some cases, parents are ordered by a family court to complete a series of parenting classes before they are granted custody, or allowed to retain custody, of their children.

Some parenting classes will provide a completion certificate that can be turned in to satisfy family court requirements, but not all parenting classes offer this.
