Family Law FAQ

Family law deals with issues involving family relationships, such as child custody and divorce. Therefore, our family lawyers usually deal with divorce, child custody, child support, and other legal matters arising from family breakups.

You may need to go to a family court to resolve specific cases, such as adoption, residence or contact of children following a divorce, dissolution or separation.

Family courts specialise in arrangements for children after a family breakup. Although the family courts may be found in the same courtroom or building where the accused are being tried for a crime, they are entirely separate from the criminal or civil courts.

Judges issue court orders for contact, residence, and other arrangements. The Family Proceedings Court allows the judge to be accompanied in court by lay magistrates. The court hearings and jury are not open to the public. The Family Proceedings Court is the most common in Northern Ireland to hear applications for a court to resolve issues related to a child after a family breakup.
