Family is the smallest unit of the society; this is where all citizens came from and where they learn the basics of life. However, as time goes by, it seems that this unit came to deteriorate, and the law – in some countries – supports it destruction. Is the Family Law concerned with this kind of problem, The Family Law is there to solve and provide proper treatment to all family related problems. With the unending issues of divorce around the world, many couples seem to take the opportunity offered by this new system.
There is a belief that those women who feels dissatisfaction from their marriage and financial status would come to London to practice their rights. In London, Part III of the Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act of 1984 offers justice to those who suffers from family problems of couples from other jurisdictions, provided that one of the parties is covered by its law. One good example is Mrs. Agbajes case: she applied for legal aid under the Part III of the Matrimonial Proceedings Act of 1984, claiming that she suffers from hardships and injustice in her effort to obtain a divorce. Mr. Justice Munby gave her the chance to be heard; however she lost the case under Mr. Justice Ryder’s proceedings. The case proceeded and she was awarded the sum of £275,000. Jurisdiction in London is powerful and brave enough to interfere on the laws that govern the cases of those who came from other jurisdictions. They are not afraid to bring justice to those who should receive it, provided that the Act of 1984 still has the power to do so.
