Abstract

The authors of this paper have been advocating for the expansion of the network of courts in the Republic of Serbia for a long time. In a large number of published professional papers, they advocate the introduction of specialized (special) courts for resolving disputes in family law matters. Disputes in this matter cannot be treated equally with disputes in other areas of law. It is impossible to compare the time frame for resolving, for example, child support with unpaid loans, construction contracts, property disputes, etc. In this paper, the authors emphasized the importance of special education for judges, the role of mediators, as well as the indispensable role and importance of social work centers. Education and motivation of judges working in these courts, as well as the introduction of juries in resolving disputes, appear to be a necessity. However, one of the most important proposed amendments would be the one that would allow such courts to resolve multiple disputes simultaneously, i.e., according to the authors, special provisions of the Family Law should regulate the obligation of judges to combine multiple legal protections in the same case, and to make multiple substantive decisions if the conditions are met.
