This list is by no means dispositive of the potential issues that come through the family court system. In many jurisdictions in the United States, the family courts see the most crowded dockets. Litigants representative of all social and economic classes are parties within the system.

For the conflict of laws elements dealing with transnational and interstate issues, see marriage (conflict), divorce (conflict) and nullity (conflict).

Criticism of Family Law

Main article: Fathers' rights movement

Members of the fathers' rights movement criticize the "win or lose" nature of family law in determining issues of divorce and child custody in many Western countries. Cross-national parties dealing with legal systems in different countries simultaneously grapple with substantive and procedural issues regarding child abduction, child custody and visitation. International human rights treaties and the Hague Convention agreements seek to address such concerns.

What does it take to get into family law?
Q. I want to be a lawyer in family law. I would especially like to hear from lawyers. Anyway, I have a few questions. And I would like to know what to expect. Education wise, what does it take to go into family law? After you graduate? What happens? How much should I expect to make right after law school? What is the highest salary I could make? Thanks for the answers!

A. You will need the patience of a saint, as family law is one of the most frustrating things an attorney can practice. Family law attorneys only need a law degree, which is a Juris Doctor. You need a bachelors degree to get into law school, so it generally will take seven years total: 4 for the bachelor's, 3 for law school. After you graduate, you take the bar exam. When you pass, you become licensed as an attorney. Then you can go to work. You can go to work for yourself, or join a firm. Fresh out of school, don't expect to make a lot of money. Family law can pay well, but generally people getting divorced are pretty much broke. Statistics state that a large percentage of people who get divorced then go bankrupt shortly thereafter. [cont.]

Does anyone know of a good family law attorney in Boise, ID?
Q. I'm a single mother with sole legal and sole physical custody of my two children. Their father lives in town and had visitation every other weekend. I have no support system or family in Boise, ID, and want to move to California to be near my family for support as I've fallen on hard times. He will not agree to let me move, so I will need to pursue in court. Looking for a good lawyer that will be able to help me get what is best for me and my children.

A. Go to www.martindale.com Fill out the "find a lawyer" form, but BE SURE to check the "feature peer review rated" box. When you check that box, you'll only get returns for lawyers who have a high standing among others in their practice area. Yeah, I know, it's like sharks rating other sharks, but it's better than the yellow pages...

Texas Family Law: What type of suit must I file to recover out of pocket expenses for health insurance?
Q. Non-custodial parent not providing health insurance as ordered. How do I recover money paid to provide insurance coverage? AG office states I must file suit, but not sure what suit type to file.
Asked by Greg S - Tue Dec 4 15:02:10 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If a spouse fails to comply with the terms of the court order, that party may be held in contempt and punished accordingly. Such punishment can include up to a $500 fine and/or up to 180 days of imprisonment for each violation. The court can also take remedial measures at its discretion, including recovering the money you paid to provide insurance coverage for your child. You will likely be filing what's commonly called an "enforcement action" to recover your money, and you will have the burden of proof to show that your spouse violated the court order. I suggest you speak confidentially with an attorney to discuss all possible options for recourse
