Introduction

Family law deals with the ways in which family groups are created, ordered and dissolved. Primary issues in family law are marriage, separation, and divorce, legitimacy, child custody and support, alimony, and adoption, as well as questions of parentage associated with such reproductive technologies as artificial insemination and surrogate parenting. Family law is the set of rules and institutions law governing personal relationships and property of the member countries of the family, each other and with third parties. Such relationships arise from marriage and kinship. Throughout history, family law has been closely connected to property law and laws of succession. Traditionally, it was considered that the Family Law is a sub-branch of civil law.

Today, much of the doctrine is considered an autonomous branch of law, with proper principles.

In this case, Ben has never been to school because Georgia wanted to educate him at home, though he is intelligent enough among other children of same age group.
