Abstract

The article discusses the evolution of family court judges' roles, shifting from traditional adjudication to proactive, problem-solving approaches. This change is driven by increasing caseloads due to issues like drug abuse and domestic violence, which traditional methods have failed to address effectively. Judges are now engaging in innovative strategies to improve outcomes for families and children.
