What Is Governed By Family Law

Family law is important because it is responsible for securing and protecting a family's patrimony by establishing norms. It protects all or any members of the family and establishes the obligations, responsibilities, and rights of those inside the family. The following are some examples of family law:

• Youth have the same rights as adults;
• The right to decide on the child's support;
• The right to adequate security and welfare benefits for the wife.
• Domestic abuse and other acts of violence are protected.
