Abstract
A family court is a tribunal that hears and resolves family law matters within justice systems in each state in the United States and the District of Columbia. The family court can be structured as a completely separate court or as a distinct division or department of a state court of general jurisdiction. The ideal model is the unified family court, organized around the concepts of therapeutic jurisprudence and the ecology of human development. The aim of a unified family court is to produce a resolution encompassing all legal issues and addressing the individual family's legal, personal, emotional, and social needs. The unified family court also aims to resolve underlying nonlegal issues, such as domestic violence and substance abuse, that are exacerbating the legal issues. Given the significant volume and complexity of family law cases across the United States, it is critical for states to overhaul outdated and ineffective, inefficient family courts.
