| Family law is an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations including, but not limited to: * the nature of marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships; * issues arising during marriage, including spousal abuse, legitimacy, adoption, surrogacy, child abuse, and child abduction * the termination of the relationship and ancillary matters including divorce, annulment, property settlements, alimony, and parental responsibility orders (in the United States, child custody and visitation, child support awards). 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).

Regards Hello, my brother and his wife stayed in Hyderabad, with my parents since 1996 to 2004 and sicne they were not going well in their relartionship he took up a job in mumbai and left the house, she went back to her parents house as she dont wanted to live with my parents. my brother now needs to settel in life and want to divorce her, but she dont want to divorce him and states that she would like to continue the relationship, but at no cost my brother wants to live his life with her as she has harressed our entire family. Their was no contact between my parents and her as well as their was no communication between my brother and her since 4 yrs. Now last month she went to the hyderabad police stayting the false dowery harresment and murder case, and my parents and I received call by police to report to police station, my brother was also called but due to urgency of work he is not able to make to hyderabad, they said they would like to councel both of them. My brothers wife has also stated false to police that he has married a lady in mumbai without divorcing her, she has stated that she is confused that either he has married a lady or definately has a live in relation. Their has been no case against my brother yet in court. we all are so tensed with this situation, need a suitable advice to move further. Regards, Dear Friend The following remedies under law are available to your brother: 1) File suit for divorce on the grounds of dissertion and irretrievable breakdown of marriage as they are living apart from last 4 yrs. but the court may order the maintenance to be given to your brothers wife. 2) As far as criminal case is concerned as they are living apart and never been in touch since 4 yrs so u can prove the same is out of frustration only. Regards Hi Friend, As Mr. Kuldip suggest your brother can file a divorce case against his wife on the groung of dicersion as she is not living with him for more than 4 years it is good groung to seek. And as far as the criminal cases she filed against on your brother, you and on your parents are concerned that will not exist in the court of Law as they are totally fradualant and concocted for the sake of harrssment and it is also a very good groud for seeking divorce from her. Any douts please contact me. vijaykk, Hyderabad.
