Why do Kentuckians need Family Court?
The courts are increasingly called upon to assist families in resolving domestic issues. Cases involving families and children in distress get the highest priority and do not compete with criminal and civil cases for judicial time. A Family Court operating under a “One Family, One Judge, One Court” principle means that one judge provides continuity by hearing all of a family’s legal issues and problems. Coordinating the legal system with social services helps families receive the best possible outcome.
