Family Law Act (varies by jurisdiction)

The Family Law Act is legislation that governs legal matters related to family relationships, such as marriage, divorce, child custody, and support. It provides a legal framework for resolving disputes amicably and fairly, ensuring the rights and responsibilities of all parties—adults and children—are protected. The specifics can vary by jurisdiction, but overall, the Act aims to promote the well-being of children, facilitate the fair division of assets, and establish procedures for ending relationships or resolving conflicts within families.
