Does our current family law need to be changed to encourage greater pre-marital counseling in an effort to reduce the frequency of divorce in our State?

Does our current law regarding child support and alimony need to be changed?

Are Family Courts devoting sufficient time to temporary hearings, considering the issues presented and the impact on the litigants?
