Family Dispute Resolution from the Perspective of Comparative Law

Family cases are different from ordinary civil cases in that they have their own ethical solutions. The traditional Chinese law deals with family disputes focusing on reason law, while legal reform uses the legal technical rationality to weaken the ethical attributes. The current reform of the family trials in China is based on the experience of the extraterritorial law, and gives due consideration to the return of the family-based standard, paying attention to the rights of under-age children. Around this goal, issues such as the resolution principles and procedures of family disputes should be adjusted.
