Family disputes can arise concerning marriage, adoption, inheritance, or maintenance. They are often challenging to deal with due to the complex relations and the vulnerable mindset of the people involved. Family lawyers possess expertise and skills that make them proficient at handling diverse family matters. This article will explore what family dispute litigation is, and the subject matters it covers.
What is Family Dispute Litigation?
Family dispute litigation arises from family disputes such as divorce, maintenance and child custody, among others. Family courts are involved in resolving such cases. When parties cannot agree on a particular issue, they file a suit before the court, and the procedure is known as litigation.
Family litigation can be time-consuming and can significantly impact the parties and children, if there are any. Some cases may require an expert opinion, such as a doctor, forensic accountant or psychologist.
Scope of Family Dispute Litigation
Divorce
Family dispute litigation, more often than not, involves divorce proceedings. When couples do not agree with each other and can’t stay together, they can end their marriage by initiating divorce proceedings.
Domestic Violence
Family dispute litigation also encompasses matrimonial disputes arising out of domestic violence and seeking a protection order to obtain protection from an abusive spouse.
Maintenance
Maintenance is a typical result in cases arising out of family disputes. A dependent party, unable to care for themselves, is often awarded maintenance by the family courts in India. It is also allowed under criminal law.
Child Custody
Parties going through divorce proceedings can file a suit for guardianship of their children. Child custody is the obligation of either parent to maintain, care and raise the child. Child custody and guardianship are often delicate and may require the involvement of a skilled family law expert to obtain favourable results.
Will Management
Will entails the parties’ decision regarding the status of their property after they pass away. Family lawyers often play a crucial role in litigation arising from will by drafting it or representing the legal heirs challenging the same.
Other Areas
Family dispute litigation also includes other areas, such as adoption and guardianship. It is complex due to varying personal laws in India. It needs expert guidance and knowledge of various personal laws to cater to each community.
