National Budget allocated to the Family Tribunal

Brief Description

The Government allocated the Family Tribunal with SCR 4.8 million (approximately USD 400,000) in 2011 for recurrent costs, which is an increase of 66% from the budget allocation in 2006 (not taking into account the inflation caused mainly by the devaluation of the local currency). Apart from child-related matters, such as child maintenance for single parents and child custody, a significant proportion of the Tribunal's work focuses on providing protection to victims of family violence.
