The Indian family court hears a wide variety of cases, ranging from divorce and child custody to alimony and domestic violence. The family court may also be called upon to hear cases involving adoption or guardianship in some instances. While the majority of cases heard by the family court are civil in nature, there are also a small number of criminal cases that fall under its jurisdiction. The family court has the power to issue a wide range of orders, including but not limited to ordering the payment of child support or alimony, awarding custody of children, and ordering the protection of victims of domestic violence. In addition, the family court can also issue restraining orders against an individual who is deemed to be a threat to another family member.
