DiscussFamily Code or family law is an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations. In many countries, the family code is primarily based on traditions and informal practices. Its scope includes, but is 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).
