Section 5 of FCA : Section 5: Association Of Social Welfare Agencies, Etc

Explanation using Example

Imagine a couple, John and Jane, who are going through a divorce and have a dispute over the custody of their child. In this situation, the Family Court in their state, as per Section 5 of The Family Courts Act, 1984, may involve a child welfare organization to provide expert insights into the child's best interests. The State Government has rules that allow the court to associate with such organizations. The welfare organization's representative can assist the court by presenting a report on the child's needs, which will help the judge make a more informed decision regarding custody arrangements. This ensures that the court's jurisdiction is exercised effectively, keeping the child's welfare as the primary concern.
