The Family Guidance Department was founded on October 10, 1998, with the goal of resolving family conflicts amicably and facilitating family reunions by assisting both parties in reaching a legally binding family agreement that benefits each of them without resorting to court action. It also seeks to resolve their conflicts through mutual agreement and a declaration of family obligations. The requests are referred to the court of jurisdiction at the request of both parties or one of them if a resolution cannot be reached between them.
