How many family court in tripura?
Family Courts are special courts which specialize in cases relating to marriage and domestic issues, and are regulated by the Family Courts Act of 1984. Before creating one, state governments must consult with their relevant High Court and notify of its local limits of jurisdiction.
Tripura currently hosts one Family Court located in Agartala and administered as part of Guwahati High Court with one permanent bench, led by a Presiding Judge. However, its jurisdiction is limited due to cases like maintenance proceedings not being heard here. Currently, however, State Government is encouraging more Family Courts by providing 50 percent Central grants in order to establish them quickly and ensure justice for families across Tripura.

Family court judges are equipped to manage delicate family law matters with care and discretion. They listen carefully to both sides before reaching a verdict based on facts presented. In certain instances, judges may order mediation or counseling services as part of their ruling.
