family courts

Family courts—also known as domestic relations courts—are usually trial courts with the authority to hear only matters relating to family or domestic matters—such as divorce, child custody, and child support—and modification of related orders—as well as dating and domestic violence matters. Courts dedicated to family or domestic relations matters are usually located in populous counties and are said to have exclusive jurisdiction of domestic relations matters within the county.

In North Dakota, family courts, which may also be referred to as domestic relations courts, are specialized divisions within the district court system that handle cases related to family law. These courts have the authority to preside over a variety of domestic matters, including divorce, child custody, child support, and the modification of existing orders related to these issues. Additionally, they deal with cases involving dating and domestic violence. Family courts in North Dakota are said to have exclusive jurisdiction over domestic relations matters within their respective counties, meaning they are the primary courts responsible for these types of cases. While not every county may have a dedicated family court division due to population size, the district courts in all counties will handle family law matters.
