There is a programme of courthouse rebuilding and it is the Minister's intention to separate family law cases from civil law cases in the courts. People accompanied by children find themselves in a very stressful situation when preparing for family law courts. The courthouse is like a cattle mart with different types of cases waiting to be heard and the people in civil law cases and others must wait for long periods. In terms of design, are new court buildings being designed in anticipation of dedicated family courts sitting on separate days from the courts hearing civil cases?
