Family Law and the Law of Persons are among the most sensitive and important branches of civil law, regulating the most fundamental personal statuses, familial relationships, and personality rights of individuals. Issues such as engagement, marriage, divorce, custody, alimony, lineage, and guardianship are legal processes that directly affect individuals' lives and often have significant emotional dimensions. It is of utmost importance that these processes are conducted in a manner that is fair, compliant with the law, and protective of the parties' rights.
