The best way to enforce family rules is through the courts. Family law is frequently intricate and difficult. Courts deal with a variety of family law-related issues, such as divorce and separation, property and asset division, child care and custody decisions, family violence, and conflict resolution. (Becker & Becker 2009). These cases are thoroughly and fairly heard from all parties, and the courts make decisions after conducting a critical examination of the two parties concerned. (Kaspiew et al 2009). The court gives a ruling depending on the type of dispute that has been presented for instance on the sharing of property between a couple that has separated. The courts then gives an order on how the court rulings are supposed to be followed and any party that fails to may face stern measures. For instance, if it involves the custodian of a child, the court gives orders that are in written form. The order states where the parent the child is going to live with and stipulates that visiting hours by the other parent.
The police do not participate in the court proceedings, and that is why they are not appropriate in enforcing the family law. All the agreements are known by the courts, and there is no way the police can enforce a law that they do not know about (Estin 2010). The courts are the most efficient because they issue powerful messages that the court orders are not supposed to be violated and give the consequences of the same. They also formulate a mechanism that provides resolutions that are immediate (Trinder, Firth & Jenks 2009).
