A legal fact is a fundamental concept in the field of law, and its proper establishment is essential to justice and law and order.

In family law, there are various legal facts that can be established in court.

Below is a list of some of them and a brief description of how they can be installed:

• The fact of marriage or divorce: Establishing the fact of marriage can be done through the marriage registration record, as well as through the testimony of the spouses themselves and witnesses. The fact of divorce can be established through a court decision on divorce.
• Fact of birth: Establishing the fact of birth can be done through information certified in medical documents or birth registration acts.
• The fact of adoption: The fact of adoption can be established through registration records, as well as through a judicial act of adoption.
• Facts about the existence and amount of alimony: Establishing the facts about the existence and amount of alimony can be done through a judicial process, where the parties present testimony and evidence regarding their financial status and needs.
• Fact of domestic violence: Establishing the fact of domestic violence may require testimony from the victim, and witnesses, as well as evidence of injuries or other consequences of the violence.
• Facts about custody and care of minors: Establishing the facts of custody and care can happen through a court process, which determines which person is responsible for the care and upbringing of a minor.
