Family Law And How It Works
Wikipedia defines “family law as an area of the law that deals with family-related issues and domestic relations including, but not limited to: the nature of marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships; issues arising during marriage, including spousal abuse, legitimacy, adoption, surrogacy, child abuse, and child abduction; the termination of the relationship and ancillary matters including divorce, annulment, property settlements, alimony, and parental responsibility orders “.
business law encompasses every aspect of a family as seen as a ‘unit of people living together for many reasons’ Family denotes a group of people affiliated by a consanguinity, affinity or co-residence.
Consanguinity – ‘con’ refers to togetherness, and ‘sanguine’ means blood – and refers simply to common ancestry and people of the same blood line. It is an important legal aspect to determine if two people can marry or to determine who inherits property left by a person who has not made a Will.
Affinity in the family context means attraction of feeling or a relation by a marriage.
Co-residence involves people or individuals who live together in the same place and act as a family or household. This may include a parent and child or children and other members sharing blood ties or living together for other reasons.
Family law therefore cannot be confined within social, economic or governmental regulations. There are simply far too many aspects and complexities involving human relations that laws in many countries have diverse legalities referring to each country’s intrinsic social and familial guidelines.
Stark and startling contrasts govern legislation in certain parts of the world. A matriachal law system exists within certain societies, whilst in other in is principally matriachal. In many parts of Europe, before the advent of the legal system as we see it today, the Church was seen as the law enforcer.
