CFCC and Unified Family Courts
CFCC works to create, implement, improve and evaluate Unified Family Courts (UFCs). This court model addresses the legal issues in family law cases, such as divorce, custody, child support and domestic violence, and the non-legal issues, such as substance abuse, mental health problems and poverty. CFCC aims to solve real-world problems with lasting solutions through using appropriate legal theory and doctrine.
Instrumental in UFC development in Maryland and throughout the nation, CFCC provides educational programs, technical assistance, evaluations and training to jurisdictions, judges, attorneys, court personnel and community leaders.
