What type of cases does the Family Court in Guam primarily handle?

The Family Court in Guam primarily handles family-related cases, focusing specifically on domestic matters that affect families and children. This includes issues such as divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, and family violence. The goal of the Family Court is to provide a specialized environment that understands the intricacies and sensitivities involved in family law. By concentrating on these areas, the court can offer the necessary resources and knowledge to address the unique challenges families face.

In contrast, criminal cases, civil disputes, and traffic violations fall under different court jurisdictions, such as the Superior Court for criminal and civil matters or traffic courts for traffic-related issues. Each type of case requires different legal frameworks and processes, which is why the Family Court is specifically designated for family-related legal concerns.
