A quick definition of family-court judge:

A family-court judge is a person who makes decisions about problems that happen in families. They help families who are having trouble with things like divorce, custody, and other family issues. In England, there is a special part of the High Court called the Family Division that deals with these kinds of problems.

A more thorough explanation:

A family-court judge is a type of judge who presides over cases related to family matters such as divorce, child custody, and domestic disputes. They are responsible for making decisions that affect the lives of families and individuals.

  • When a couple decides to get a divorce, they may need to appear before a family-court judge to settle issues such as property division and child custody.
  • If there is a dispute between family members, such as a parent and child or between siblings, a family-court judge may be called upon to make a ruling.
  • In some cases, a family-court judge may also be responsible for overseeing adoptions or terminating parental rights.

These examples illustrate how a family-court judge plays a crucial role in resolving conflicts and making decisions that impact the lives of families and individuals. They must have a deep understanding of family law and be able to make fair and impartial decisions based on the facts presented in each case.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
