text: family law is handled in what court?   you should specify which state or province you are from, because it varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.  here in ontario, it also depends on which county or regional municipality you live in.  in some cities, you go to the unified family court.  in other cities or towns, you either go to the ontario court of justice, or the superior court of justice, depending on what the issues are.  if it is a divorce, or if there are property issues, you must go to the superior court.  if it is simply custody and access, child support, or a child protection matter, you go to the ontario court.
