FAMILY COURT IN INDIA 

• In 1910, the first Family Courts were established
  in the United States. They were called domestic
  relations courts. The Family Courts Act in India,
  was enacted on 14 September 1984 with a view
  to secure speedy settlement of disputes relating
  to marriage and family affairs. Family Courts can
  be established for every area of the state
  consisting of a city or town whose population
  exceeds ten lakhs. They are subordinate to the
  High Court, which has power to transfer the case
  from one family court to the other.
