Family law is an out-of-court method of resolving family disputes. They are becoming an increasingly popular solution. It has now been institutionalized and recognized by the courts as a model for decision-making in various areas of family life. It is used primarily in divorces, separations, custody of children and division of property. Its undoubted advantage is the possibility of effective resolution of family disputes, which allows the parties to the dispute to reach an agreement on their own. Another big advantage is its duration compared to traditional court proceedings, as well as lower emotional or financial outlays.
