Family courts established on special emphasis is put on settling the disputes by mediation and conciliation. This ensures that the matter is solved by an agreement between both the parties and reduces the chances of any further conflict. The aim is to give priority to mutual agreement over the usual process of adjudication. In short, the aim of these courts is to form a congenial atmosphere where family disputes are resolved amicably. The cases are kept away from the trappings of a formal legal system. The shackles of a formal legal system and the regular process of adjudication causes unnecessary prolonging of the matter and the dispute can worsen over time. This can be a very traumatic experience for the families and lead to personal and financial losses that can have a devastating effect on human relations as well. This again points to the importance of having guidance counsellors and psychological experts to deal with such matters.so petitioner must attend while submission of petitions.

If she had filed false cases on you then dont pay a single penny and ask her to file MCD if she agrees. Never take back 498a wife. Never encourage legal extortion. No to financial settlement. File some criminal cases against these fake family if possible. Pl join SIF and attend weekly meetings. filing divorce is very crucial matter so use it when your case is strong enough.
