family courts  

Definición

  • Families have had a separate court in which to litigate their private problems since English common law, but the United States was slow to adopt this trend. Between 1900 and 1918, the Progressive Era brought forth advances in social consciousness and paved the way for a movement that would push for a family-centric court.
